Description

Miners' Hall is a building that served as the Miners' Association offices, constructed between 1913 and 1915 by H.T. Gradon. It is made of bright red brick with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings, and is designed in a Baroque style. The building has two storeys and consists of 17 bays. It features segmental pediments over the projecting second and third bays from each end, and an open pediment over the central bay, which includes a domed round Ionic porch. The Tuscan order in antis above this porch contains a large Venetian window with a double key that rises into the pediment. All three pediments are dentilled, with the outer ones featuring round windows adorned with swags and scrolls. The rusticated ashlar ground floor has round-headed windows with an impost string and double keys, while the brick above the impost string. The first-floor sashes have glazing bars set within architraves that include bracketed sills and cornices. The building is accented with corner pilasters and has a roof balustrade. A high central dome on consoles is topped with a louvred lantern, a small swept dome, and a spike finial.

Inside, there is a square open-well stair with fat turned balusters and a wide grip handrail, along with stucco ceiling decoration in the entrance hall and stairwell. The floor is made of marble.
