- Synopsis
- This page shows the Chealsea hospital frontage and a simple plan view of the building. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. The image of the frontage is in the top and the plan at the bottom of the page. In the top centre of the page a short spike stands up. Down from this is a decorative ball on top of a small onion dome roof. The roof sits on a small tower with two windows. The tower is above the central main grand entrance which is a large portico. This has a roof with a gable end which is supported by four columns. There is a large window above the large door. The building is symmetrical so the structure to the right of the entrance is a reflection of the left side. At ground level there is a covered walkway. The roof of this is supported by six pairs of pillars. The tower, portico, covered walkways and columns are all made from white stone. Up from the walkways are seven large domed windows. The windows are framed by bright red bricks. Up from each window is a decorative recessed rectangle also framed with red bricks. The rest of the wall is brown brickwork. To the left and right of the central facade is the end of the rest of the building. There are three floors each with five windows and three dormer windows set in the roof. On top of the roof are two tall chimneys. The wall is made with brown bricks with decorative white stone edging on the corners. This part of the building is the end of a long wing and is much nearer to you than the central facade. The plan view helps explain this. In the plan view (not to scale with the image at the top of the page) the horizontal section in the top of the image represents the building with the central facade. The sections to the left and right are the wings going down the page. The ends of the building, where the dots are, are the only parts of the wings that can be found in the image at the top of the page.
