History
Circa 1822 dockyard office building by Edward Holl, extended probably in 1880s in matching style.
Building is shown as proposed on E Holl's 1820 dockyard plan and illustrated, without additional 3 bays, in c1832 panoramic view, and on 1862 large scale OS map. Not marked as extended on 1877 map, but extended by 1891.

Two-storey seven-window range, 1-2-1-2-1, the west 3 bays added. Granite plinth, rusticated quoins to angles and projecting 2-bay sections, window surrounds and impost band to recessed arched ground-floor windows, surrounds to plain rectangular upper windows; two-step cornice, angle blocks to parapet and parapet coping. [Details are similar to Old Storehouse adjoining.] Upper floor has generally casement pairs with top-lights, lower floor similar casement pairs with radiating bar fanlights, except in W 3-bay addition where there are arch-headed sash windows. Four windows on first floor N front have C20 plate glass windows. 3-bay end elevations to match. E end has centre doorway with double doors and fanlight. W end has blocked door to ground floor right. Blocked basement windows under grilles.
