Description
Unity Hall is a building from the late 18th century, featuring Victorian and Edwardian decorative details. It has two storeys and an attic, constructed with purple grey headers and red brick dressings. The mansard slate roof includes four large flat-roofed dormers with moulded wood frames and a high brick parapet that rises at both ends. A red brick cornice with dentil and egg and dart mouldings adorns the structure.
On the first floor, there are four full-length recessed sash windows without glazing bars, topped with flat rubbed brick arches and decorated projecting red brick keystones. The ground floor features two late Victorian or Edwardian shop fronts, with their entrances set back in the centre, showcasing plate glass windows and surviving colonettes to the sides.
The shop fronts are supported by four large stone Doric columns that hold up a wide fascia board of glass painted black with fine gold lettering, along with a central panel. Large fluted brackets with ball finials sit at both ends. In the centre of the first floor, there is a brick frame and pediment that displays a ceramic plaque for the Freemasons.
