Description
The Former Chelsea Waterworks Coal Store, also known as Building No. 12, is a coal store built around 1858 by James Simpson for the Chelsea Waterworks Company. It is designed in the Italianate style and constructed of stock brick with a hipped slate roof. The main structure consists of one storey featuring twelve round-headed arches, each with keystones and impost blocks. These arches are open above and blocked below the impost level, with an impost band and plinth. The arches are set within four large recessed panels, topped with a moulded eaves cornice.
A prominent feature of the building is the square tower attached to the northwest. This tower rises in two main stages, with blind semicircular openings on the lower stage and blocked semicircular openings on the upper stage, which includes what appears to be a patent roofing system. Additionally, there is a tunnel that runs from the tower to the Coal Wharf by the Thames.
In 1995, the building became part of a hall of residence complex for Kingston University.
