The facility, which was sited on the north side of Stonehouse Creek, was designed for use by the British Army and styled to match the Royal Naval Hospital on the south side of the creek. It was built using Napoleonic prisoners of war, who were housed in prison ships on the Hamoaze, and was completed in 1797. It was used extensively during the Crimean War and the Second Boer War and then again in the First World War and Second World War. The Grade II listed building consists of four 3 storey square ward blocks made of limestone plus an administration building. The ward blocks are laid out in a line, joined by an arched colonnade with a balcony facing what is now the school playing fields. Stonehouse creek originally allowed ships to disembark patients directly to the hospital but was filled in during the 1960s.
