13. Office building. L-shaped two storey building of local stone with cream brick dressings which was built between 1891 and 1897 as part of the Simpson Strickland yard, as their head office and drawing office. It was designed by local architect, Edward Appleton. The main façade is divided into three bays, each with an oriel window. The first floor is tile hunt and projects over an open veranda. The western façade has a central gable at first floor level with a full width oriel window. The north wing is elevated, being built on a bedrock outcrop and also has a tile hung first floor. The roof is of slate with serrated ridge tiles and finials.
A two storey extension with similar cream brick detailing was added to the north wing by 1906 for use as caretaker's accommodation.
Although the interior of the building has been altered some original features remain.
It is suggested that the building be considered for preservation due to its architectural merit and the fact that it is the work of a well-known local architect who also designed Cranford's printing works in Dartmouth.
