Queen Mary Hall and Ywca Central Club and Attached Railings

Queen Mary Hall and the YWCA Central Club is a residential club built between 1928 and 1932 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the Young Women's Christian Association. The building is constructed of brown brick and stone, topped with a slated hipped roof that includes dormers. It stands four storeys high, with an attic and basement, featuring a symmetrical facade with seven windows and a 13-window return. The three-window bays at each end of the return create projecting wings. The design is in the Neo-Georgian style, characterized by gauged flat brick arches with stone keystones above the flush framed sash windows, which have 32 panes on the ground and first floors and 16 panes on the second and third floors.

The main entrance is centrally located and features a stone doorcase with Corinthian pilasters supporting an entablature and an open segmental pediment dated 1932. Above this is a stone-dressed window with a triangular pediment. The entrance is accessed by a double flight of steps with a wrought-iron balustrade. A stone cornice runs along the top of the building. There is also a subsidiary entrance on the return, which has a stone doorcase with brick banded pilasters and an angel head keystone above the window.

Inside, original features of a functional nature remain, including a double storey concert hall on the first floor. The property is complemented by attached wrought-iron railings in front of the areas.
