Ferens Art Gallery

The Ferens Art Gallery is an art gallery located in Kingston upon Hull, built between 1924 and 1929 by architects S.N. Cooke and E.C. Davies. The building is constructed of ashlar with a roof that is not visible, featuring a coped external factory-style side wall stack. It is designed in a Neo-Classical style and consists of a tall single-storey central block flanked by lower blind wings.

The central block has three bays, a plinth, and a full entablature with a frieze inscribed "The Ferens Art Gallery." There is a pierced balustrade above the recessed central bay and a coped parapet on the outer bays. A portico in antis is located at the center, supported by two fluted Corinthian columns and flanking pilasters. The side openings feature bronze railings with the monogram RF.

Under the portico, there is a central reeded stone doorcase with an open pediment on scroll brackets, flanked by single leaded windows with cornices. All openings are adorned with a frieze of linked circles. The outer bays are characterized by large angle pilasters and a single round-headed leaded window with a console keystone. The wings have a frieze decorated with linen swags, a moulded cornice, and a coped parapet. The interior was not inspected, and the building was undergoing reconstruction at the time of the survey.
