Mapperley Hall

Mapperley Hall is a country house, now used as disused offices, dating from 1792 with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was originally built for the Wright family, who were bankers. The house was raised and altered around 1845, and further additions were made between 1889 and 1890 by Robert Evans of Nottingham. Later alterations occurred in the mid and late 19th century.

The house is constructed of stucco with ashlar dressings and has hipped slate roofs with various coped stacks. It has a plinth, bands to each floor, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The windows are mainly glazing bar sashes. The main garden front is three stories high with a five-window range and features a slightly projecting centre with a pediment. A double flight of steps leads to a landing with a renewed balustrade and side pedestals with lamps. There is a portico with pilasters and brackets to the entablature, containing a panelled door flanked by plain sashes. Above the door is a reglazed window, and above that a mid-19th century Venetian window with a cornice and balcony on brackets. Side bays have two sashes on the lower floors, and tripartite sashes above. A tripartite screen, possibly the original entrance feature, is located to the right. The left return has irregular fenestration including a canted bay window and a square bay window, both dating from the mid and late 19th centuries. The right return has four reglazed French windows, with five glazing bar sashes above those, and a tripartite sash flanked by single sashes above again. The rear includes a square service building with a pyramidal roof, linked by a curved corridor to the service wing.

The interior was largely refitted in the late 20th century. On the ground floor, a room to the left features moulded plaster wall panels, an Adam-style frieze, and a dentillated cornice. A cornice is also present in the room to the right. A room at the rear has a modillion cornice.
