Dock Masters Office Salisbury Dock
This pseudo-medieval edifice is dramatically situated on the sea wall, south of the VictoriaTower.

It is a rectangular two storey building of three bays and is built of "Cyclopean" granite with battered walls and a corbelled parapet with battlements. 

The doors and some of the windows have 4-centred arched heads. Some windows are paired and some have label moulds with the date 1848 carved into the face. 

The south side has a small brick outbuilding, linked by a high brick wall, with a stone cornice and round arched window. Inside, the ceiling is formed by a brick segmental arch, as used in many of Hartley's warehouses.
