Description

The Former Wrexham Infirmary is a building originally constructed in a neo-classical style, featuring an ashlar facade and a slate roof. It consists of two storeys and has a nine-window range arranged in a 3-3-3 pattern. The central section is advanced and includes a pediment with a Doric portico adorned with a triglyph frieze. The entrance has central double doors with a plain overlight above. The windows are 12-pane sash types set within moulded architraves, with plain sill bands. The central window beneath the pediment is flanked by narrower sidelights. The building has shallow pedimented return gables and a truncated stack on the left side.

To the left, there is a cement-rendered gable return, followed by later brick additions with stone dressings, which include a parallel range that houses stairs. This area features a long stair window flanked by paired sash windows with margin lights, and a pedimented canopy over the doorway to the left. Beyond this is a 12-window range, with 12-pane sash windows that have additional upper lights, paired between plain pilaster bands. The building has a cornice and blocking course, with a small pediment towards the centre of this range. Additionally, there is an early 20th-century range set back to the right of the main block on Regent Street, which follows a similar style but is constructed in brick with stone dressings. This range also has a 12-window layout, arranged in groups of four, with pediments over alternate ranges and 12-pane sashes with additional fixed upper lights.
