Cottage homes for children. 1903 by Leeson for the Newcastle Board of Guardians. Later Police Headquarters and college. Cavity walls in stretcher bond brick; partly pebbledashed and painted. Welsh slate roofs. Two pairs of semi-detached houses in Domestic Revival style.
Former Block 1-2: Consciously asymmetrical facade with one gable to left and two to right. Two storeys, six bays. Half-glazed doors in second and fifth bays. Ipswich windows in outer bays, those on first floor in half-dormers with semicircular pediments. Half-timbered gables with bargeboards. Hipped roof with three boarded ridge stacks.
Former Block 3-4: also asymmetric six-bay facade with similar doors. Two-storey, five-sided bay window under pedimented gable in fourth bay. Hipped roof with half-hipped transverse roofs over outer bays. Three corniced stacks.
A good example of buildings for the enlightened approach to child care in the early C20.
