PORTLAND
THE CITADEL, The Verne
Chapel

GV
II

Prison chapel, formerly Officers' Mess. c 1865. Possibly by
Capt. W. Crossman, RE, general designer to The Citadel.
Portland stone with roach stone rustication, slate roof. Long
narrow block, main axis E/W. Central porte-cochere south side,
2+3 windows, all C20 steel casement, segmental-headed double
doors in porte-cochere with arched openings, 2 to S and 1 to E
and W. Modillion cornice and blocking course. Back of building
plain, some repairs after wartime bomb damage, 3 eaves stacks
with cappings. Interior much modified, but retains 3-arched
screen to paired columns at east end. The detail is clearly
from the same hand as Officers' Block B (qv); from remaining
foundation walls to the north it would seem that a U-plan
block was originally intended, but there is not evidence of
further progress.
