II
Technical college. c1870. By Crickmay and Sons. Yellow and red brick, some stone banding, slate roof. PLAN: a complex building, with parallel ranges facing Dorchester Road, having a narrow gabled range stepped forward to the left, and a broader range stepped forward to the right with a porch rising to a high turret in the internal angle. This end range is L-plan, with a gabled return at the back. EXTERIOR: detailing is broadly in Ruskinian Gothic, with arched openings on 4-pane sashes, with alternating red and yellow brick voussoirs. The gable to the left is coped, with kneelers, over an oculus and 3-storey canted bay with brick mullions. The set back main unit has 4 windows, the 2 outer being smaller than the central 2; to the left is a one-storey porch with round-arched entry, and to the right a portico with arched entries to front and side, rising to a steep slated roof swept out at the bottom, with lucarnes. The gable to the right is coped, with kneelers, and with saddle and finial above an oculus, a 2-light window, and a square bay with balcony to pierced stone balustrade. This has some Ruskinian carving to capitals and detail. The return has 4 linked gables to end kneelers over arched lights at first and second floors; C20 work is added at the ground floor. To the right, brought forward, is a wide haunched gable with arched lights to moulded stone sill bands; an escape stair has been attached to the end bay. The rear has various openings with sashes, and includes a formerly open 4-bay ground floor unit, with a stone lintel carried on cast-iron columns; this has been filled and glazed. Above are 4 windows at each level under a wide gable. The rear range is hipped at the N end, and the smaller cross wing is half-hipped at the rear, over triple arched lights. At the time of survey the building was only partly in use, with many windows temporarily blocked. INTERIOR: not inspected. It is a characteristic example of the Crickmay office, responding to the stylistic fashions of the time.
