Description
Rothbury Hall is a former Congregational mission that later became the East Greenwich United Reformed Church and is now used as an arts centre and workshops. It was built between 1893 and 1894 by W T Hollands. The building is constructed of very red brick with stone voussoirs and features bell-cast slate roofs, a central cupola, and prominent stacks and finials. The layout consists of a six-bay hall range, which includes two halls, and five-bay cross wings that face the roads, with two asymmetrically placed staircase towers on the south side.
The building is two storeys high and has elaborate timber dormers, which also feature roof finials. The principal elevations are symmetrical, with deep eaves. The windows are casement style with transoms; the upper panes consist of small lights similar to those found in the dormers and staircase towers, while the ground-floor windows are round-arched and adorned with voussoirs. The entrance to Rothbury Hall on Azof Street features paired double doors set under similar voussoirs and elaborate plaster moulding in the tympanum. The central entrance to the workshops has a projecting hood with a swan-neck pediment, supported by a bolection-moulded cornice and hefty console brackets. Inside, the building retains cast-iron balcony fronts from its time as a church. It is noted for its 'very weird and exotic' design, as mentioned in the Buildings of England, London South, 1983.
