Eastbrook Hall

Eastbrook Hall is a large sandstone ashlar building constructed in 1903 by the architects W J Morley and Son for the Methodists. This four-storey block features a mix of Jacobean and Renaissance architectural details, which were popular in Bradford for public buildings at the turn of the century. The front elevation is articulated by panelled pilasters on each floor, separated by moulded sill courses. It has elaborate segmental and triangular pediments above the central lights of tripartite dormers, with baluster shafts dividing the lights. The main floors have tripartite mullioned windows, while the ground floor features shop fronts.

The central entrance bay boasts a large segmental portal, which has elaborate partly leaded glazing in its upper part, rising into the first floor where an oriel bay window is located above. Flanking this upper level are corbelled pinnacled buttresses, and above the parapet, there is a graceful octagonal drum adorned with archivolt lights and Ionic columns, supporting a copper dome topped with a lantern. This dome significantly contributes to the skyline of the Vicar Lane area. The building also has a long range extending back along Chapel Street, which features additional mullioned windows and gables.
