II

Rehabilitation and training centre for those blinded in war.
1935-8. By Burnet, Tait and Lorne. Steel construction faced
with brick laid in stretcher bond, cement, roof obscured by
parapet.
PLAN/EXTERIOR: 7 storeys, 12-window range to the principal,
west front. In the style of the Modern Movement. The west
front is symmetrical, and there is a wing of similar size
behind it running east-west, so that the building resembles a
cross in plan. Flat-arched entrance under an outswept and
slightly upswept cantilevered canopy.
3-storey, flat-roofed centrepiece of 3-window range with a
4-storey polygonal glazed bay above; wings to either side of
6-window range to 5 storeys and 4-window range to top 2, these
shorter wings having quadrant corners and the top storey
almost continuous glazing slightly set back under a deep
horizontal awning. The ground-floor windows have engaged
columns set between them and faced with brown tiles; the
glazing in the building has been generally renewed, except on
the semicircular bays which terminate all 3 wings on the east
side.
A 2-storey wing in the north-east angle was added soon after
the building was put up; a single-storey wing to the south was
added in 1975. The 1975 addition to the south containing
swimming pool is respectful of the original building, but is
not in itself of special interest. A 1998 2-storeyed
flat-roofed extension is also not of special interest.
INTERIOR: the interior was designed to reflect the needs of
the blind, in its simple axial plan, and in the provision of
guide rails etc., and these features survive.
