Description



LEEDS

SE2935 CROSS QUARRY STREET
714-1/24/173 (North side)
Quarry Mount School

II

Former board school. 1885, extended late C20. By Richard
Adams. Red brick, stone details, slate roof. In Gothic Revival
style. 2 and 3 storeys, 9 bays, a 4-stage clock tower with
gabled pyramid roof separates the infants'/girls' departments,
left, from the boys'. 5 separate entrances with carved
lintels. Modern extension added to north-east.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
A good example of the Board School architect's best work, in a
free Gothic Revival style with mullioned windows, moulded
brick panels above carved lintels, moulded string courses, 3
projecting gabled bays to main front. Richard Adams became the
School Board's architect in 1873; this is one of his last
designs and shows the clear vertical division between
departments which he favoured.
