A plaque over the right-hand door gives the date, 1862. It was originally the administration building of the Cumberland and Westmorland Lunatic Asylum, which later became the Garlands Hospital. Most of the hospital site became available for redevelopment in the late 1990s. The buildings surrounding this renovated block were demolished and replaced with smart new houses. English Heritage Archives has a photo of the hospital building still in use http://www.englishheritagearchives.org.uk/SingleResult/Default.aspx?id=105283&parent=1302918 .
