Description
Trafalgar Quarters was built in 1813 as lodgings for officers of Greenwich Hospital, designed by architect Yenn. The building has two storeys and features eleven windows. It has a low pitched, hipped slate roof and is constructed from yellow stock brick, accented with a stone frieze, cornice, and parapet. The parapet is raised above the three central bays, which hold an achievement of arms, and these central bays project slightly. The windows are topped with gauged, round brick arches; the first-floor windows have been replaced with casements but retain radial glazing bars in the heads, while the ground-floor windows are sashes with glazing bars. The seven central ground-floor bays have a loggia supported by paired stone Tuscan columns, with an entablature and blocking course above. The outer bays, extended by one to continue around the angle, feature an open brick arcade with a stone cornice, blocking course, impost band, and plinth. There are recessed panels below the ground-floor windows, and a plain entrance is located in the bay to the right of the center. The rear of the building encloses a courtyard.
