Caleb Lovejoy Almshouses

The Caleb Lovejoy Almshouses are a group of almshouses built in 1839, funded by a bequest from Caleb Lovejoy. They are constructed from sandstone blocks with grey and brown brick detailing and feature plain tiled roofs. The building has a symmetrical layout, centered around a two-storey pavilion that is flanked by single-storey wings with gable end bays.

Notable architectural features include decorative paired cross-ridge stacks positioned diagonally on the wings, as well as paired round, cut-brick and corbelled stacks on the sides of the central gables. The central pavilion has double gable ends adorned with pierced, wavy-edged bargeboards topped with spike and pendant finials. The windows are leaded casements with label mouldings above and arched two-light intersecting tracery. Each gable has one window on each floor, and there is one window in each linking range to the end gables.

The central entrance features a gabled porch with 20th-century glazed and panelled doors set within a chamfered brick surround, topped by a four-centre arch. Additional doors are located in gabled porches on the left and right return fronts.
