Numbers 13 And 14 Moic'S Residence And Attached Railings, Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar

Numbers 13 and 14 Moic's Residence are a pair of houses for officers at the Royal Naval Hospital in Haslar, built in 1756 by John Turner. These mid-Georgian style houses are constructed of red brick with paler rubbed brick heads and stone dressings, featuring brick ridge stacks and a slate valley roof. Each house has three storeys and a symmetrical three-window range, with a plat band, brick cornice, and parapet. The outer doorways are covered by 20th-century timber porches with panelled sides, and there are side windows and half-glazed doors. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches, with 6/6-pane sashes and 3/6-panes on the second floor. The end gables include three attic lights. The interior has not been inspected. A notable feature is the attached cast-iron railings between the two porches. Historically, these houses housed the surgeons for the hospital and are part of the original layout of the hospital, which was also built by Turner, a carpenter from Portsmouth dockyard. Haslar was the first large hospital built by the navy, primarily for convalescent seamen, and the medical officers' houses are an important part of this outstanding and remarkably complete complex.
