Built in 1909 as Mountbatten House, it was originally a Seamen's Home, as indicated by the inscription in the pediment. The top storey was added in 1912 and the west part added in 1930. It became a Salvation Army men's hostel in 1970, but in 2008 it was completely rebuilt as a general centre for the homeless, and only the facade is original.
