Description
The entrance block of the former concert hall, now known as the Queens Hall Methodist Mission, was built in 1906 by the architects Bradshaw and Gass of Bolton. The building is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, with stone-coloured dressings and a graduated slate roof. It is designed in the Edwardian Baroque style and features a rectangular plan, standing three storeys high with an attic and a two-stage turret.
The façade is symmetrical with a layout of two windows, one window, and two windows. The ground floor has been altered, but it retains giant pilasters at the center, a pulvinated frieze, and a modillioned cornice. The square turret has clasping pilasters and a prominent cornice on its lower stage, topped by a domed Baroque upper stage.
On the first floor, there are tall cross-windows with wooden mullions and transoms, framed by moulded architraves with large keyblocks and open segmental pediments. The central window features Ionic columns, while the others are adorned with festoons. The second floor has simpler architraves with 2-light casements. At the attic level, the turret includes a lunette with a triple keystone, and the outer bays have large pedimented dormers with 3-light casements, all fitted with glazing bars. The building is topped with raised coped gables and gable chimneys, making it a very prominent feature of the street.
