What is recorded here
Two-bay single-storey gable-fronted mortuary to south-west of Nazareth House, built c. 1940. Pitched artificial slate roof having moulded eaves course. Painted rendered walls having render plinth, with rusticated quoined render pilasters to corners. Open-bed pediment to gable-front, with round window having louvers and cross motif. Square-headed window openings to side walls, having painted sills and margined timber windows with coloured glass. Square-headed doorway to gable-front with moulded render surround having hood-moulding and prominent keystone, and carved timber panelled double-leaf door.
This mortuary is a typical building associated with hospital complexes. Its compact form is enhanced by its pedimented gable-front, lending this simple structure an air of grandeur. The detailing to the corners and the windows carries on the theme of quality design.
