City Of Newcastle Employees Club

The City of Newcastle Employees Club is a building dating from 1849, attributed to the architect John Dobson. Originally constructed for the Northumberland Yeomanry, it served as an army riding school and is now a club. The structure is made of English garden wall bond brick with an ashlar plinth and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings. It stands two storeys tall and has three bays. The gable end facing the street is pedimented and includes three tall arched recesses with long keystones, with the central recess projecting into a blind stone roundel above stone-arched heads. The ground-floor windows have flat stone sills and surrounds, while the first-floor features transomed round-headed windows, with the transoms creating recessed sections of cornice. The central windows are paired and include a stone mullion.
