Description
Crozier Lodge, part of the Cumberland Infirmary, is a house that now serves as a doctors' residence. It was built in the 1820s and underwent early 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed from calciferous sandstone ashlar and features a chamfered plinth, a sill band, a cornice, and a solid parapet. It has a greenslate mansard roof and ashlar end chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high with three bays and lower single-bay flanking wings. The central entrance has a panelled door with a patterned radial fanlight, accessed by steps, and is framed by a pilastered open-pedimented doorcase. The windows are sash with glazing bars set in stone reveals, and there are three early 20th-century boxed casement dormers. The wings contain Venetian windows, with those on the ground floor originally being doorways that now have blind side lights.
Inside, the property features early 20th-century doors with fluted wooden architraves and internal panelled shutters. There are moulded plaster ceiling cornices and a round-arched niche in the principal room, as well as a staircase located in the right wing. Thomas McAdam resided here in 1828, and the building became the House of Recovery in 1847. Historical photographs indicate that the mansard roof was added in the early 20th century. The date of 1820 previously listed is questionable, as it corresponds to the founding of the House of Recovery (Fever Hospital). This building should not be confused with Crozier Lodge on Clift Street, which is from the 20th century.
