Description

Quebec House is a building located in Bath Square, The Point, Portsmouth. It was originally built in 1754 as a bathing house and later converted into a hotel, and is now a private house. The structure features a timber frame clad with weatherboarding and some brick, topped with a low-pitched hipped roof made of Welsh slate, which has rendered stacks at both ridges. The building is two storeys high and has three bays.

On the façade, there is a late 19th-century main door to the left of centre, which includes marginal glazing bars and is framed by a door case with pilasters and a corniced entablature. To the right of this door is a 20th-century door. The windows are primarily 12-pane sashes, except for an 8-pane window on the right side of the ground floor, with shutters on the ground floor windows. A moulded cornice runs along the ground floor. A late 20th-century glass roof light is situated at the centre of the building.

On the left return, there are three bays featuring two 2-light casement windows on the ground floor, with the left window having leaded glazing. The first floor includes a canted bay window on the left with a panelled apron below, a cornice above, and small-pane glazed casements, while the right side has two small-pane casements.

The interior of the building has not been inspected. Quebec House is notable for being one of the earliest surviving buildings associated with sea bathing, constructed through public subscription and containing baths supplied with harbour water.
