Description
Kentfield Billiard Rooms, built between 1810 and 1824, is a single-storey building with a basement, constructed of stucco. The roof is obscured by a parapet. The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring a broad, round-arched entrance flanked by flat-arched, tripartite windows on either side. Designed in the Greek Revival Style, the entrance includes a keystone and a panelled lintel with a fanlight above. The jambs of the entrance are rebated with a quarter-round chamfer. Surrounding the entrance is an aedicule with a pair of Tuscan pilasters that have incised key panels, with identical pilasters at each party wall. The wall surface between the pilasters and windows is rendered as banded rustication. The windows are set above a moulded sill band, which has been interrupted on the right by a broad entrance added in the 20th century. A broad entablature runs across the top of the elevation, projecting above each pilaster, with each impost adorned with a single laurel wreath. The interior has not been inspected. By 1824, this building was one of four billiard rooms in Brighton, and it served as the Brighton Boys' Club from 1920 to 1927.
