About Simon Hostel
The National Inventory rates Simon Hostel Regional, one of 282 in Summerhill. Its record dates Simon Hostel to 1830–1850. 138 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This former asylum was built in a confident neoclassical style during the mid-nineteenth-century boom in the provision of social services and institutions. The stucco façade adds to the decorative quality of a streetscape that has most of its original buildings during the twentieth century.

Questions about Simon Hostel
Is Simon Hostel on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50011148).
Can you visit Simon Hostel?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Simon Hostel built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1830–1850.
Is Simon Hostel protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
