Description

The Jockey Club is the club headquarters built around 1933 by Sir Albert Richardson. It is designed in the neo-Georgian style and consists of two storeys. The main section has five windows and is set back between two canted wings, each with three windows. The building is constructed from orange brick and features parapets, along with a moulded limestone band beneath the first-floor windows. The roofs are hipped and covered with plain tiles, and the chimneys are also made of orange brick.

A notable feature of the building is the prominent central rotunda, which is clad in copper and supported by eight Doric columns on a square plinth that includes a clock. The sash windows have flat arches made of gauged brick and small-pane sashes. The central range displays a limestone arcade with three arches on the ground floor, complemented by enriched pilasters, a cornice, and a frieze. Wrought iron railings with lamp brackets are attached to the wings along the front boundary. Additionally, there is a contemporary wing that extends to the south-east at the rear.
