Description
No. 13 Earl Street is a former police station, now used as an office, built in 1862 by J.A. Cory. The building features Flemish bond brickwork with light headers, a sill band made of red sandstone, and a stone-bracketed metal gutter. It has a Welsh slate roof and brick chimney stacks at both ends and on the ridge. The structure is two storeys high with three bays and a double-depth plan. The central entrance consists of a panelled door with an overlight, all set within a pilastered stone surround. The windows are sash types set in brick reveals, featuring stone sills and lintels. The interior has not been inspected. Originally, this building served as the County Police Headquarters, and its plans can be found in the Cumbria Record Office, reference Ca/E4/830.
