Description
The Waverton Men's Institute and attached caretaker's house, built around 1890 in the style of John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster, features English bond orange Ruabon brick with blue brick diapering and buff sandstone dressings. The building has a Welsh slate roof with a red tile ridge and a ridge brick chimney topped with four twisted Tudor-style stacks. It is a one and two-storey structure with a five-bay front. The left three bays form the one-storey institute, which is divided by buttresses and has three-light mullioned and transomed windows with leaded coloured glazing. Above the ridge, there is a tall octagonal spired, shingled louvre, complete with lucarnes and a ball finial. The fourth bay projects slightly under a gable and features a heavy corbel table at the first floor, with three-light windows on each floor and in the right end bay. The building is listed for its group value only.
