Description

The Former Friends Meeting House, located at 9 Russell Street, is a pair of villas designed as one, built around 1850-1855. This two-storey building features dressed sandstone brick with ashlar dressings. The front has six bays, with a plinth, plat band, frieze, and a moulded eaves cornice. The hipped slate roof is topped with corniced chimneys. On the first floor, there are shallow revealed six-pane sash windows. The ground floor includes a large rectangular three-light bay window with a cornice on the left side and three plain sash windows. The central doorway is archivolt arched, with pilaster caps as imposts, set in a plain surround with console brackets supporting the cornice above. The return front to Melbourne Place has four bays with similar architectural details. The doorway on this side matches that of No. 9 but is enclosed by an attractive wrought iron scrolled trellis porch.
