Description
Moss Side People's Centre is a former school that includes a teacher's house, now serving as a social centre. It was built between 1855 and 1860 and features brown brick in header bond, although it is now mostly painted in various colours. The building has a fishscale slate roof and an irregular plan, with a hall range parallel to the street, a domestic wing on the left, two crosswings on the right, and various wings at the rear.
In a Gothic style, the hall range boasts a chamfered two-centred arched doorway and two tall gabled traceried windows. The right wing features a large four-light traceried window, while the outer wing attached to it has a two-light window. A rear wing that projects to the right includes a front aisle and a gable wall with a three-light window that has intersecting tracery. The left return facade, which is the teacher's house, has two eight-light mullion-and-transom windows flanking a central two-centred arched doorway with a chamfered surround. Above and to the right of this doorway is a battered chimney stack that ends in a conical louvre. The first floor contains mullioned windows with two, three, and four lights. The interior has not been inspected. This building forms a group with the Church of St Mary on Upper Moss Lane, St Mary's Junior School and its schoolyard railings on Chichester Road, and St Mary's Rectory on Parsonage Street.
