90, Holloway

No. 90, Holloway is an isolation hospital dating to 1761, with 20th-century alterations. It was built as a replacement for a 1495 hospital associated with St Mary Magdalene, and the rebuilding was initiated by Rev. D Taylor, originally serving as an isolation hospital for people affected by leprosy. The building is constructed from coursed stone with a double Roman tile roof.

The symmetrical plan includes a deep, rear wing extending beyond the main block and featuring a swept-down roof. The two-storey, two-window front has paired pointed lights to chamfered surrounds, with a central stone mullion and a plain casement positioned beneath blank tympana. The first floor also has a blind central lancet above a small painted tablet bearing the inscription "Rebuilt in the Year of our Lord 1761" and a cornice. The ground floor features paired lancets and an off-centre plank door recessed within a four-centred arch surround with stopped moulded details, accessed via three steps and sheltered by a flat, moulded hood. A high plinth extends to threshold level. The gables are coped, with a stack positioned to the right. Returns are plain with a small square light, and a deep wing in ashlar extends to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
