Smith-Dorrien House, Office building and Grade II listed property in Aldershot, United Kingdom
Smith-Dorrien House is an office building with Victorian design features located on Queens Avenue in Aldershot. It displays high ceilings and large windows throughout, creating bright and open interior spaces.
The building was founded in 1908 when General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien laid the foundation stone, marking its start as a military-linked institution. This military connection shaped its early purpose and identity from the beginning.
The building served soldiers as a place to read, study, and spend free time together in its early years. It functioned as a gathering space where military personnel could take a break from their duties.
