Once an art and technical college, now converted to flats.

The Grade II listed building https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391508?section=official-list-entry was designed by Henry Littler in the Baroque style using glazed red Accrington brick with cream stone dressings, with a Lakeland slate roof. The main entrance front (south-east) onto Poulton Road has a shallow flight of steps leading to a porch with a round-headed arch opening with ashlar Gibbs surround, stone and brick banding to the sides, and balcony above with iron railings. It opened 2nd October 1912 as the Art and Technical School and functioned as this until the outbreak of World War One when it was commandeered by the local military. It returned to civilian use in 1919, when the basement and ground floor became a Grammar School. The school gradually took over the whole building and remained there until a new school was built in 1938. The college then reverted to providing further education and at some point was transferred to the ownership of Lancaster & Morecambe College of Further Education. In 2006 it was converted into a 22-apartment block known as Cinnabar House. On the roof is a weather vane, known as the Galleon of Knowledge.
