Formerly called Red Shield House, the Salvation Army hostel faces Park Avenue and Granby Way. From http://www.plymouthdata.info/Churches-Salvation%20Army.htm"On Wednesday June 16th 1965 the "Red Shield House" was opened in Park Avenue, Devonport. The ribbon, in the Army's colours, was cut by the Commissioner W F Cooper. The building was designed by Colonel W H Charles, the staff architect, and constructed at a cost of £139,000 to replace the former naval and military hostel at Rosyth House. There were 50 bedrooms plus a further 22 bed-sitting rooms, a canteen seating 80, a dining-room for 50 and various recreation rooms."
