Former Nurses' Home Including Gatepiers And Boundary Walls, 17 Cadzow Crescent

The Former Nurses' Home, now known as Barnardo's Day Centre, was built in 1911 and is a two-storey, three-bay building designed in a simple Classical style. The west elevation features squared and snecked tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings, a canted bay, and a porch, while the other elevations are constructed from rubble. The west elevation includes a base course, a balustraded porch, stone mullions, and overhanging eaves.

The principal elevation has a near-central flat-roofed entrance porch with a cornice, stone balustrade, and round-arched openings. Below the balustrade, there is an inscription that reads, 'OPENED 12TH OCT 1911 DUCHESS NINA NURSES' HOME'. The entrance consists of a timber two-leaf door with a plate glass fanlight above. Above the door is a single light window. To the left, there is a tripartite window at ground level and a bipartite window on the first floor. To the right, an advanced gable features a tripartite canted bay at ground level and a bipartite window above.

The east elevation is mostly blank, except for a later doorway at ground level that has a slated canopy and connects to a later monopitch harled extension.

The building predominantly has plate glass timber sash and case windows with horns and is topped with grey slates. It features a large pair of wallhead stacks to the south and a single wallhead stack to the north, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the property has a wide corniced hallway with an inner timber entrance screen that includes two-leaf timber doors with upper panels of leaded glazing. There are large sidelights, part-glazed fanlights, and black and white encaustic tiling. The interior also features a timber staircase with a banister, six-panel timber doors, simple dentilled cornices in the principal rooms on the ground floor, and several cast-iron fireplaces with timber chimneypieces.

The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of a high rubble wall with long and short coping on the west side. To the northwest, there are a pair of square ashlar pedestrian gatepiers with near-flat overhanging caps, and to the southwest, there is a similar pair of square ashlar gatepiers.
