Standing among the more modern housing of Mansion Gate to the east of Chapeltown Road, between Gledhow Park Road and Harehills Lane, this elegant mansion was built between 1835-40 for the Leeds industrialist John Hives, partner in the still-surviving flax manufacturer, Banks Mills on the north bank of the river Aire, to the west of the Royal Armouries Museum.

The two-storey mansion is 11 bays wide and eventually became part of the Leeds Chapel Allerton Hospital 24th May 1950. Built in the 1830s, architect John Clark, in Greek Revival style with Ionic Portico.

Was used to provide medical facilities in First World War, became part of Chapel Allerton Hospital.
