Ca 1910, probably by H T Hare, architect of the neighbouring hostels. Edwardian Arts and Crafts style. Built as the Gymnasium to the Normal College.

Slate roofs with skylights, ventilator and cresting; pebbledash chimney stacks including one tapered lateral chimney breast with stack against gabled projection. Flat roof attic has 7-light small pane casement window and segmental pediment. Stepped and shaped gables with finials to either end, to right with Baroque scrolls; cross frame windows to left (curious mixture of sash and casement) and thermal window to right. Advanced lower gables between with plain bargeboards and applied timberwork; 3-light windows.
