Description

The Day Hospital for St Thomas' Children's Department is an almshouse-type building constructed between 1913 and 1914 by the architects Adshead and Ramsey. Designed in an early 19th-century style, it is two storeys high and features seven windows. The building is made of stock brick with stucco quoins, a modillion cornice, and parapet coping. Sash windows with glazing bars are topped with gauged flat brick arches. The central entrance has a door with a patterned radial fanlight, framed by a doorcase supported by attached columns with feather capitals. Above this is an entablature with an enriched frieze and a dentil cornice. A flagpole is located at the center of the roof, and an additional door has been inserted at the ground floor on the right side.
