Edward Holl

It was previously a cottage for the senior officer in charge of the castle, which was tasked with protecting warships at nearby Chatham Dockyard.[6] The Inspector General's department was abolished in 1812, resulting in Holl being directly employed by the Navy Board.He assumed a new role, Surveyor of Buildings, which was used during the extensive re-building of the Navy's fleet bases at Portsmouth and Plymouth Dock (Devonport), England.[8] Despite being damaged during World War II, the East Ropery is the only Holl-designed building remaining in the dockyard today.Holl designed a fireproof structure with cast-iron pillars, iron beams, yorkstone paving for the floors, and a brick exterior.The hospital was used during World War II to treat many wounded sailors brought in from vessels damaged by torpedoes.
