Abstract:
The building, set back from the east side of Cleveland Street, was constructed in 1775-8 as a workhouse for the parish of St Paul, Covent Garden. It is built of yellow-brown brick, on four storeys with a basement; a central doorway from a forecourt leads to two wings to north and south, with staircases in each. The north staircase and some of the windows are original; the roof has been rebuilt after war damage. The rear of this building was modified and others were constructed to the east, both before and after the site became the Strand Union Workhouse c. 1836. A campaign in the 1860s for reform of hospitals was led by the medical officer for this infirmary, Dr Joseph Rogers, based largely on his experiences there. These extensions were demolished and new additions made in 1874-5, when the site became the Central London Sick Asylum: the north and south wings of the 18th-c building were extended to the east end of the site, enclosing a yard between them, and two separate ranges were built along the north and south sides of the site. The Middlesex Hospital (100m to the SW) acquired the site in 1924, and the interior was further modified, the yard was largely built on and a tunnel was added to give covered access from the south-west. The buildings were used for the hospital's outpatients until vacated in 2006.
