Description
The Newark Antiques Centre, originally a Congregational church, was built in 1822 and features an early 20th-century addition. It was converted into an antiques centre in the late 20th century. Designed by W Wallen, the building is constructed of brick with stone and painted brick dressings, topped with a slate roof, and is in the Classical Revival style.
The structure is two stories high and consists of three rows of five bays. The pilastered front includes a first-floor band and a pediment with a blank circle. There are three tall round-headed windows on the upper level, while the lower level features a central segment-headed window flanked by single pedimented stucco porches with plain two-leaf doors. The sides of the building have full-height round-headed blind arcades, with tall round-headed windows above and smaller segment-headed windows below.
To the northeast, there is an early 20th-century single-storey addition with a part-glazed roof. Inside, the centre has a panelled oval gallery supported by round tapered cast iron columns, and a shallow segment-arched ceiling with a central boss and moulded cornice. The east end features a traceried moulded elliptical arch with Corinthian pilasters, behind which is the former organ gallery with three round-headed blank recesses. The west end includes entrance porches with softwood dogleg stairs. The early 20th-century addition contains five small rooms arranged around the end of a corridor, separated by glazed screens.
