Description
Houldsworth Working Men's Club is a working men's club built in 1874 by Abraham Henthorn Stott of Oldham. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings, featuring wide alternating bands of slate and red tiles on the roofs.
It has two storeys and an attic, forming a U-shape with two rear wings, the one on the right (east) being wider. There are modern extensions at the rear. The exterior displays irregular Gothic style elevations. The main south-facing elevation consists of eight bays and features a steep roof with three dormer windows, along with a gable above the wider bay seven. The first floor has round-arched windows, while the ground floor includes mullion and transom windows. Bay five features a single-storey porch with a pitched roof, and at the right end, there is a gable above a large pointed-arch tracery window, with a wider mullion and transom window below. The west side elevation includes a two-storey bay window topped with a conical roof at the south end. The interior has not been inspected.
