History edit

The building was designed by S. L. Swann in Gothic Revival style in red brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs.[1] Originally constructed in 1881 as the Winter Street Hospital for Infectious Diseases, it became a dedicated tuberculosis hospital in 1912, and was later the St George's Hospital for geriatric patients, which closed in 1990. After refurbishment it became the School of Nursing for the University of Sheffield in 1997.[2]

It was named Bartolomé House in 1998 after Dr Mariano Martin de Bartolomé, who was president of the Sheffield Medical School for 22 years in the 19th century.[3] In 2008 it was taken over by the School of Law.[4]
