Free Medical Mission Dispensary, Former - Physical Description 1
A two storeyed late Victorian stuccoed public building with trabeated faþade, balustraded parapet and bracketed cornice with dentils and dentillated string course. The slightly projecting central bay has a pediment at first floor level surmounted by a window, now bricked up. Wrought iron double doors with John Singleton's initials and figures of an arm holding an arrow on shields remain at the south entrance. Inside, the original timber staircase is insitu but the remainder of the structure has been renovated. (Ward, 1995)
The former Free Medical Mission Dispensary is a double-storey building of rendered masonry construction, designed in an Italianate style. The faþade is composed of superimposed orders, with rendered panelled pilasters dividing the faþade into five bays, and with classical entablatures at each level. The first floor cornice is modillioned and dentilated, and is surmounted by a balustraded parapet. Windows are semi-circular arched double-hung sashes grouped in pairs, and have moulded archivolts and keystones. The central bay projects slightly, and has a consoled pediment at ground floor. Beneath this is a large semi-circular arched window, presumably originally the entrance, which is presently located further to the north. The first floor window
above the pediment has been infilled. The southern-most bay contains an arched opening with a pair of ornate iron gates, bearing John's Singleton's initials and coat of arms. Chimneys are rendered, with moulded caps. (Allom Lovell, 1998)Free Medical Mission Dispensary, Former - Integrity
