Built in 1872 to a design by Thomas Moore of Sunderland, who also designed the impressive 1848-Monkwearmouth Railway Station, this building was originally the summer residence of the Duchess of Northumberland. However, the building was converted into an hotel in 1877, and it is now a Grade II Listed building. The central door has carved spandrels, polished granite nook shafts and a heavy carved bracketed cornice on banded pilasters.
