rock-faced finish, corrugated asbestos-cement roof. Long
rectangular building in two storeys and 7 bays, on N/S axis.
North gable in 3 bays with arched openings to first floor,
filled with glass block, and to very heavy cills, above one
light to a cambered head, and a wide garage opening to
concrete lintel. Moulded string, raised coped verge and apex
stack with cavetto capping, above an oculus. On the W side a
prominent steel stair rises to a central door at first-floor
level, which has a series of pilasters to recessed panels, the
upper half set back slightly from lower half. East side
similar, without stair. Interior not inspected. Like other
buildings in The Verne complex, a very vigorously detailed
building from the RE office.
