Description
The Church of St Luke City Library Annexe is a former Nonconformist chapel built in 1828, which later became a library annexe. The building features stucco over brick and has a gabled slate roof, designed in a Classical style. It has a rectangular auditorium plan and stands two storeys tall. The front façade is pedimented and has four windows, which are late 19th-century two-light windows with round tracery set in semicircular arched openings. The central and outer doorways are also in similar openings, although the ones to the centre and right are blocked. The three first-floor windows are set forward from the main plane of the façade and are positioned over tetrastyle Tuscan pilasters with an entablature. The pediment is topped with a bellcote, and a plat band returns to the simpler side elevations.
Inside, the building retains its 1828 gallery with a panelled front and a moulded plaster ceiling cornice above, along with original panelled box pews. This structure is a notable example of a large urban chapel in the Classical style.
