Description
Tapton Hall is a house that now serves as a masonic hall, built in 1855 with alterations and an addition made in 1967. It was constructed for Edward Vickers, a notable steel manufacturer in 19th century Sheffield. The building is made of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof with six coped stone ridge stacks, designed in a classical style.
The exterior includes a textured rusticated plinth, rusticated quoins, first floor and sill bands, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped balustrade. The house is two storeys tall with a three-by-three window arrangement. The windows are plain sashes, with corniced ones on the ground floor. The eastern entrance front has a central two-storey square porch featuring a sash window with a cornice and moulded surround, flanked by single sashes with pseudo balustrades. The doorcase is moulded and round-headed, with glazed double doors and a fanlight, also flanked by single sashes. The southern garden front has a projecting centre with a two-storey bow window that contains three sashes on each floor, the upper ones featuring pseudo balustrades. On either side are single sashes, with cornices on the lower ones. The rear of the building has four sashes on each floor to the right, and a set-back bay with a single sash on each floor to the left.
Inside, the stairwell has moulded segmental arches, a modillion cornice, and a rooflight, along with an L-plan cantilevered stone stair that has cast-iron balusters and newels. The landing features a round-arched arcade.
Additionally, there is a rusticated vermiculated terrace wall outside, complete with moulded coping and a rounded corner with semicircular steps to the west. Small intermediate piers support 20th-century lights. The Wilson family, who were snuff manufacturers, lived in the house from 1867 to 1967.
