Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map. The college and adjacent school (HER 6295) were built from the 1870s. By the end of the C19, the House of Recovery (HER 6293) had been subsumed into the college. Until demolition in the mid 1980s Rutherford College occupied almost the whole of the subsequent Bath Lane car park site. The car park was constructed in 1987. Rutherford College moved to Ellison Place in 1966 now the Ellison Building at Northumbria University.

Fever hospital 1804. Opened for the prevention and cure of contagious fever. The public raised £1165 towards the £1505 cost of the building. Both poor and paying patients were admitted. Physicians from the Dispensary looked after the patients. Records show that the hospital was always overcrowded with patients suffering from cholera, typhoid and smallpox. The hospital closed in 1888 when Walkergate Hospital opened (HER 5390). Coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, Welsh slate roof and brick chimneys. 2 storeys. Flat stone lintels to boarded doors recessed in blocked round arches. Sashes with glazing bard on first floor. Other windows blind. Subsumed into adjacent Rutherford College from the late C19.
