Bristol Municipal Charities

Bristol Municipal Charities is an office building constructed in 1938 by WG Price. It is designed in the Neo-Georgian style and features limestone ashlar with a pantile hipped roof. The building has a double-depth plan, three storeys, and a basement, with a symmetrical front that includes a second-floor sill band and a moulded eaves cornice. The entrance boasts a large doorway with a moulded architrave and pediment, an overlight decorated with a Greek key pattern, and a two-leaf eight-panel door. The windows consist of 6/6-pane sashes and 6/9-pane sashes on the first floor, with low basement windows. There are pierced square ventilation panels above the ground floor. The right-hand return of the building has a four-window arrangement similar to the front. Inside, the boardroom features a fireplace dating from around 1770 and doors that were sourced from Kings Weston House. This building attempts to connect a 20th-century structure with the character of an early Georgian terrace.
