This building started life as a hostel for LMS railway staff, built in the early 1940's when increased traffic demands rendered the adjacent railway hostel inadequate. After closure of Kingmoor shed in the 1960's, the hostel became a hotel (see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4611016 ), but is now private apartments (see also: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4611015 ).
