Lincoln Constitutional Club

The Lincoln Constitutional Club is a building of 1895, designed by William Watkins and built by Otter & Co of Lincoln. It is constructed of brick with terracotta dressings and slate roofs, and is built in a Flemish Renaissance Revival style.

The exterior features sill bands, enriched first and second floor cornices, an eaves band, and shaped coped gables. The building is two storeys tall with a basement and attics. First floor windows are mainly glazing bar sashes, while ground floor and attic windows are mainly casements with mullions and transoms.

The front facing Silver Street has six bays, with a projecting entrance bay to the left, featuring a round-headed door and flanking window. Above the entrance is an angled oriel window, two storeys high, and a four-light window above that. A bowed north-east corner has three windows, a cornice, and a balustrade, topped by a hexagonal stair tower with a moulded cornice and three sashes. A ramped coped parapet is punctuated by three oval windows. Above this is a set-back, pargeted drum topped with a leaded dome. To the right of the entrance is a two-storey, four-bay range with a coped parapet and gables, and a frieze of national crests between the windows. There are four ground floor windows, with three above. A round-headed doorway is set to the right of this range, with a window above it.

The east front, facing Broadgate, has three bays, with a basement containing a square-headed door and four iron-framed windows. Above, a central three-light mullioned window is flanked by single oval lights. Beyond this are two round-headed windows. A canted central bay with a pediment is flanked by single gabled wings, each with two sashes. Above this, each wing has a five-light window.

The interior features an elaborate cantilever stone spiral stair with landings, a cast-iron balustrade, a ramped and scrolled handrail. The first-floor ballroom has a ribbed semicircular vault, while the ground-floor billiard room retains original fitted benches and tables.
