French Convalescent Home, Brighton

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The former French Convalescent Home (now a residential development called The French Apartments) was a seafront sanatorium and rest home built in Brighton, part of the English seaside city of Brighton and Hove, on behalf of the French government. It received patients from the French Hospital in London and served as a home for elderly French nationals. It was sold for redevelopment in 1999 and was briefly threatened with demolition; but English Heritage listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance, and it was converted into flats. The unusual ch teau-style French Renaissance Revival building has been criticised as "dreary" and "gauche," but is believed to be unique in England and demonstrated innovation in its use of double glazing.
