Corner site with Beccles Street. Dated 1901 and built as the Passmore Edwards
Sailors Palace. Niven and Wigglesworth: architects. A finely detailed neo Tudor
Arts and Crafts design. The west wing has been rebuilt beyond the "gate house".
Portland stone basement and ground floor, upper 3 floors of warm red brick with
stone dressings and "pargeted" leaded panels. The "gate house" on the corner has
octagonal turrets flanking a 3 storey oriel over the low arched entrance. Rich
carving to the arch (with good Arts and Crafts lettering) and console tops and
with a "figure head" keystone rising up to the oriel. The latter has mullioned
transomed leaded lights. The 6 bay return way to Beccles street has segmental
arcade of windows to ground floor, tripartite with leaded lights and thin
panelled pilaster-mullions. The windows to upper floors are vertically linked
as flat "oriels" with "pargeted" aprons, corbelled stone cornices over those
on top floor; windows have 4 leaded, stone mullion-transom lights. The parapet
finishing of this elevation has broad and short alternating shallow stone coped
crenels. The basement area has simple Arts and Crafts iron railings.
