Description
St Mary's House is a rectory, now serving as a manse, built between 1855 and 1860. It is constructed of brown brick with sandstone dressings and features a red tiled roof. The building has a rectangular plan that runs parallel to the street and is designed in a Vernacular Gothic style. It stands two storeys tall with four bays, where the center is treated as a one-and-a-half storey hall range, flanked by gabled wings. The right wing has a half-hipped roof.
There are buttresses in the first bay and between the second and third bays, both with offsets. The entrance, located to the left of the second bay, features a shouldered doorway with double doors that have ornamental strap hinges and a quatrefoil overlight, all set within a two-centred stone arch with a chamfered surround. Most of the windows are stone-mullioned with straight stone lintels and segmental brick relieving arches. The ground floor has two windows in the main range with cusped lights, while the first floor windows are set in half-dormers with hipped roofs. The first bay on the first floor includes a large arched window with three arched lights and multifoils in the head, and the fourth bay has an attic window.
The left gable wall has two windows similar to those on the ground floor of the main range, while the right gable features an extruded chimney stack. Inside, there is a moulded two-centred arch between the entrance hall and the stairwell, and an open-well staircase with two brattished rails. The building forms a group with the Church of St Mary on Upper Moss Lane, St Mary's Junior School, and the schoolyard railings on Chichester Road, as well as the Moss Side People's Centre on St Mary's Street.
