Description

The Licensed Victuallers' Benevolent Institution, also known as Caroline Gardens, is a north range of former almshouses built in 1866 by Henry Rose. The structure is made of stock brick and features a stucco cornice, a plain blocking course, and angle pilasters. It consists of five houses on each side of the range, each two storeys high and three bays wide. The entrance includes double doors set in plain reveals with oblong overlights. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are topped with gauged, cambered brick arches. A stucco string course runs above the first floor. A foundation stone notes that it was laid by Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Edinburgh, on November 30, 1866, along with a list of officers from the Company. The interior has not been inspected. Nos 101-110 Caroline Gardens are part of a larger complex that features double U-shaped ranges surrounding a central garden with a wide court in between.
