Description
Osborne Court is a fine example of an Art Deco building in Jesmond. Its impressive north elevation, visible from Osborne Road, shows a four storey red brick building with rendered bay windows. The metal windows are original. The south elevation is the same as the north, although a visible basement makes it five storeys in appearance. The east elevation is the only flat side of the building, as the west also has bay windows. Art Deco gates in the west elevation lead to a courtyard. LOCAL LIST
