Description
The Christadelphian Chapel, originally a cinema, was built in 1914 and closed in 1955. It is constructed of brick with limestone dressings and features an Edwardian Baroque style. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical front that includes steps leading up to a recessed central bay. This bay is adorned with a modillion cornice, a parapet, and a raised central segmental pediment.
The mid-20th century entrance is covered by a canopy, and above it is a large lunette with an architrave, blocked voussoirs, and a stepped key, along with an attic oculus framed by a bayleaf surround and crossed branches beneath. The outer windows are set in an ashlar panel; the ground-floor windows have architraves and a cornice, while the first-floor oculus features an eared round architrave with a volute key, crossed branches, and fruit below. The windows are casements with glazing bars.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this building was known as the Academy Cinema and is one of the few remaining early cinemas in Bristol, with its facade largely intact.
