Full description
Passmore, A. J. + Jones, P., 05/2013, Former Newton Abbot Hospital, Devon, Results of Historic Building Recording (Report - Survey). SDV351393.
This building appears to have been constructed in tandem with the building to the north during 1896-98 as a stand-alone ancillary structure, probably as an isolation block. Originally both buildings were linked by a covered walkway but this was later demolished and its footprint absorbed into the present two-storey build. The original T-shaped plan of the building is still apparent including its single sanitary tower that extends out from the building's western elevation. All of the windows, both singular and paired, are primary horned sash types with replacement single pane overlights. Overall the exterior has little altered although two of the primary windows of the eastern elevation
have been enlarged.
Inside, the building has been extensively modernised, and its layout is not entirely clear. It probably contained three rooms served by a dog-leg corridor, as well as the tower to house sanitary facilities. In addition to the entrance from the covered walkway, there were additional doorways in its south elevation.
