Description
The Museum of the Royal Fusiliers, originally built as an Officers' Mess in 1845, is located at the Tower of London. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof and stone stacks. The building showcases a Castellated Gothic Revival style with Domestic Tudor details.
The structure consists of two-storey bays that flank a three-storey, two-bay central block. This central block has Tudor-arched, two-light transomed windows above a label mould, which sits over a pointed-arched doorway. The doorway is located in a crenellated centre bay, flanked by octagonal turrets that feature lancet windows and a trefoil-panelled parapet. Each of the outer bays has a crenellated parapet and a canted Tudor-style bay window, also with a crenellated parapet. The windows in these bays are Tudor-arched, mullioned, and transomed, with almond panels in the central frieze. The other elevations of the building are designed in a similar style.
Additional features include steps leading to a raised terrace at the front, which is bordered by crenellated piers and a pierced balustrade adorned with quatrefoils set in lozenges.
