Description
The Huntingdon Quaker Meeting House comprises several phases of construction, with a late 18th-century building fronting the street, an earlier, possibly 17th-century, rear block, and a rear wing likely dating to the 19th century. A 1972 extension runs along the north side of the rear wing.
The late 18th-century building is constructed of brick with a tiled, hipped mansard roof and brick stacks at each end. The 17th-century block has a brick base, with rendered timber framing above, a steeply pitched roof covered in corrugated iron over thatch, and a central brick chimneystack. The possible 19th-century end block is of brick with a tiled pitched roof. The building has a rectangular plan, consisting of the late 18th-century building to the southwest, a rear wing, and a 20th-century narrow extension. It extends over two storeys with cellars.
The southeast-facing street elevation of the late 18th-century building features three bays with a modern entrance door in the centre and two eight-over-eight sash windows on either side. Dormer windows with nine panes are set into the upper floor. The southwest corner of this section is chamfered. A modern side door and a casement window at first-floor level are present on the northwest side elevation, along with a window to the raised basement or cellar. The southeast elevation of the 17th-century block hosts four small-paned windows on the ground floor and one casement window on the first floor. The possible 19th-century block showcases two three-light mullion and transom windows facing south and two square gable windows facing east. The 1972 extension is narrow, with a flat roof and serves as an entrance area, added to the courtyard-facing side.
The late 18th-century building has been converted into flats. Internally, the 17th-century block's ground floor contains two low-ceilinged rooms, one with a large fireplace, the other now a kitchen, both featuring chamfered beams. A small cellar room is set a few steps below ground level. Above are a small first-floor room to the west and an attic on the east side of the central stack; the latter has lath-and-plaster walls and ceiling. The possible 19th-century block has an open roof showing a king-post, and a timber-panelled ceiling. A former external wall has been removed, extending the room into the 1972 entrance block, which houses the toilets.
