Abstract:		 In February and March 2017 as historic building record was made of a disused early 20th century Public Lavatories building at Abington Square, Northampton, prior to its conversion to a residential unit. The building stands on Wellingborough Road, on the south side of the square, one of the town's busiest public esplanades. The report places the building into its historical context and identifies its broad phases of development. A topic of planning discussions for several years, the Lavatories building was finally erected in 1929, when it was incorporated into an ambitious scheme of town re-development. As such the history of the building is integral to a transformation of Abington Square which took place between c.1928 and 1938. Notably, its design and use of materials combined vernacular architecture with artisanal Art Deco modernity. It survives today as a unique form of architectural expression in the decade-long transition of Abington Square. The report provides a descriptive and illustrative account of the building based on 'as found' observations. It includes scaled elevation, plans and a photographic catalogue.
