Merseyside Centre For The Deaf

The Merseyside Centre for the Deaf, originally a chapel for the Deaf, was built in 1887. It is constructed of red brick and features a red-tiled roof. The building is two storeys tall, with a later one-storey extension. Its design follows a cross-on-square plan with an octagonal first floor. There are gabled projecting bays on the northeast side, with the eastern bay featuring a round turret. The ground floor has hipped roofs at the angles between the projecting bays.

The ground floor windows are two-light casements, while the first floor above has a seven-bay lancet arcade with three windows. The projections include two lancets with a round window above. The pointed entrances are designed with three orders, hoodmoulds on angel corbels, and diapered spandrels with blind quatrefoils, flanked by buttresses and weathering above. The gables are adorned with crosses. The pyramidal roof is interrupted by a drum that has four-light windows and a louvred bell stage.
