Glad Tidings Hall

Glad Tidings Hall, built between 1842 and 1843, was originally a Baptist chapel. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features two and a half storeys along with a tall basement. The building has three windows facing the road, with plain lower sections. The first floor and half storey are marked by Tuscan pilasters that support an entablature at the second floor level. At the center, there is a raised parapet with scrolled abutments, a small pediment, and crude acroteria. The windows have gauged flat brick arches and stone cills, adorned with fancy glazing. Access is provided by two flights of steps leading to six-panel double doors, which have a panelled transom and are framed by narrow architraves with bracketed cornice hoods. The returns of the building are four bays wide, with pilasters in the first bay.
