Former Sandes Soldiers' Home

The Former Sandes Soldiers' Home is a grade II* listed building located in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, England. Opened in 1928, it served as a refuge for soldiers away from the pressures of military life, featuring amenities like a canteen, cinema, and library. Designed by Belfast architects and constructed with a workforce from Ulster, the building reflects significant historical and architectural value, earning its grade II* status, which places it among the top 8% of listed buildings in England. The home was part of a broader initiative by Elise Sandes, who established similar facilities across the British Empire. Although it ceased its original function in 1983, the building has been repurposed over the years and remains a notable landmark in the area, recognized for its unique heritage and connection to military history.
