Old Assembly Rooms

The Old Assembly Rooms, located at No. 9 Low Pavement in Nottingham, were originally built in the 18th century and later used as a post office. The building underwent alterations in 1790 by John Carr, further changes in 1807, and was refronted in 1836 by Thomas Winter. In the 20th century, it was converted for new uses. The structure is made of brick with a painted ashlar front, and its roof is not visible behind a pierced balustrade. Designed in the Classical Revival style, it features a plinth, a rusticated ground floor, a heavy entablature, and a modillion cornice. The building stands three storeys high and has a three-window range. The upper floors are divided by Corinthian three-quarter columns, with three 15-pane sash windows adorned with cornices on scroll brackets, and three 9-pane sash windows above. On the ground floor, there is a double door with a traceried fanlight to the left and two glazing bar cross casements with cast-iron window guards to the right. The ground floor was refitted in the mid-20th century.
