Description
Haworth Art Gallery is a large house, formerly known as Hollins Hill, built between 1908 and 1909 by architect W.H. Brierley for cotton manufacturer William Howarth. The building is constructed of snecked sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with various tall chimneys. It has an E-shaped plan with five bays and a T-shaped service wing attached to the rear of the fifth bay. The structure is 2 and a half storeys tall and is designed in a neo-Jacobean style.
The facade includes four gables and a central parapeted two-storey porch, which features superimposed orders and a tall pierced parapet that supports the King's Beasts. To the right of the porch, there is a recessed bay with a large stairlight, while the projecting wings have prominent two-storey canted bays. Most of the windows are designed with mullions and transoms. On the left side, there is a two-storey square bay on the outer wall of the wing and a two-storey canted bay at the gable. The rear of the building has one canted bay window with a pyramidal roof, while most other windows are flush, with mullions and transoms on the ground floor and mullions only on the first floor.
Inside, the gallery features a panelled entrance hall and a large reception room that imitates a hall, complete with a balustraded dais and a carved three-bay arcade in a screens position.
