Description
Derby Hall was built in 1850 by Sydney Smirke and is designed in a classical style. It originally formed part of a larger structure that included the Derby Hotel and the Athenaeum, but much of this was demolished in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features horizontal rustication on the ground floor, topped with a dentilled cornice and a blocking course.
The right-hand section showcases a giant three-bay Corinthian temple front above a tall podium on the ground floor. It has three arched windows on the first floor, with three circular concave panels above them, and three arched doorways on the ground floor. The left-hand section is two storeys high, featuring an advanced segmental-pedimented centrepiece with columns and pilasters that frame a doorway below and a Venetian window above. There are three arched windows on each side of this section, and an extra bay on the far left is advanced, containing rectangular windows, including two additional ones in a mezzanine.
