GV II
North gateway into former Naval Hospital, and adjoining store.
1758-65, designed for the Navy Board by Alexander Rovehead.
Plymouth limestone rubble with limestone architraves and other
dressings; corrugated iron roof. Parallelogram on plan with
central carriageway running parallel to end walls, the
entrance broken forward to outer side, the passage originally
fitted with both inner and outer gates.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; each elevation is a nearly symmetrical
8-window front, the windows bricked up except for windows with
sloping jambs grooved for louvres. Full-height round archway
has imposts as short strings; wrought-iron gates with
spear-head finials. There is an attached dog-leg flight of
stone steps to a raised platform to the right of the archway
at both front and rear.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: high rubble wall with ramped coping to
right of building and another length of perimeter wall at
right angles to rear left linked to the Official Residences
which contained the Admiral's House (qv). These walls were
designed to prevent the patients from escaping.
HISTORY: this building faced the jetty where patients were
landed, and contained stores for hair and bedding, hence the
louvred windows. It stands on the main N-S axis across the
hospital.
Part of an outstanding and complete military hospital complex.
