Part of St Saviour's Workhouse, now part of Southwark Fire Station and Fire Brigade Training Centre. 1777. By George Gwilt the elder. Eastern wing (facing main road) aggrandized and converted into 2 houses, early C19. Practice tower added to rear c1880 by Alfred Mott (in connection with its later use as a fire training centre). MATERIALS: main elevation: brown brick with stucco details and cornice with brick parapet, hipped slate roof with red tile cresting. PLAN: rectangular plan (with rear wing). EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and basement, 11 bays. Central 3 bays articulated by 4 giant stucco Ionic pilasters supporting entablature and balustraded parapet above. Outer bays flanked by sunk panelled pilasters supporting entablature and balustraded parapets. Pair of modified Doric porches at 2nd bay from each end. Tall ground-floor windows with stucco architraves and cornices, that in right end bay with console bracketed pediment. C20 1-storey projection at left end bay. 1st and 2nd floors have sash windows with glazing bars, gauged, flat brick arches and stucco sills, those to central 3 bays with console bracketed cornices. Return elevation much plainer. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: metal railings and brick piers of late C19 enclosing forecourt. HISTORICAL NOTE: the workhouse became a hat factory and residence in the early C19, and in 1878, when the Metropolitan Fire Brigade moved their headquarters here under Captain Shaw, a training school. The building forms an important group with the Gothic-style fire station built to its left in 1878 (qv). A Gothic extension of 1883 by Robert Pearsall, which hid the former workhouse building from the main road, was demolished after the war.
