Description
The Octagonal Central Office Building at Her Majesty's Prison, dating from around 1820, is a small two-storey structure made of dull red brick. It features a low-pitched slated roof with a rebuilt central octagonal chimney. On the north side, there is a square clock tower topped with a low pyramidal roof and bracketed eaves. The building has later stock brick buttresses at alternate angles and sash windows with glazing bars set in stucco-lined reveals beneath segmental brick arches. This building served as the former governor's house, from which the governor could observe prisoners working on the treadmills that were first introduced at Brixton Prison. The original treadmill buildings have since been replaced by a one-storey pentice surrounding the structure. The building is included in the register mainly for its historical significance.
