Ex Servicemen'S Club

The Ex Servicemen's Club, located at 20 and 22 Victoria Place and 1 Albert Street in Carlisle, is a group of three houses converted into a club, built in the early 1850s. The building features red sandstone ashlar on a calciferous sandstone plinth, with all dressings made from this material. It has angle pilasters and an eaves cornice, topped by a graduated hipped slate roof with end brick chimney stacks. No. 22 is constructed of red brick with stone dressings.

No. 20 is two storeys high with four bays and a two-bay return on Albert Street. It has an off-centre doorway, which is now blocked, but retains its prostyle Tuscan porch accessed by steps. The sash windows have margin glazing bars and are set in stone architraves, with the former entrance featuring a console-bracketed cornice. The basement windows are also blocked, and the return has similar windows. No. 22 features a left Tuscan porch, with its doorway also blocked. The sash windows on the upper floor have glazing bars and are in brick reveals with stone sills and flat brick arches. No. 1 Albert Street has a central panelled door, accessed by steps, in a pilastered surround, with sash windows that have margin glazing bars in stone architraves.

The interior has not been inspected. A notable feature is the cast-iron railings along the basement void of No. 20. Historically, this building was part of Burlington Terrace, which was not listed in the 1851 census but is marked on Asquith's Survey of Carlisle from 1853. The demolition of part of the terrace has left this section isolated.
