Royal Sea Bathing Hospital, Grade II listed building in Margate, United Kingdom.
The Royal Sea Bathing Hospital features yellow brick walls with stone dressings, indoor salt-water pools, and extensive verandas along its exterior facades.
Founded in 1791 by Dr John Coakley Lettsom, this medical facility pioneered open-air treatments for patients with non-pulmonary tuberculosis through sea bathing therapies.
The hospital chapel, built between 1882 and 1883, contains detailed stained glass works by Clayton and Bell, representing Victorian ecclesiastical artistry.
The building now functions as residential apartments, preserving its Georgian architectural elements while providing modern living spaces in Margate's coastal area.
A statue of Sir Erasmus Wilson, wearing academic attire, stands in the front garden mounted on a granite base commemorating his contributions.
