Description
Oddfellows Hall is a hall built in 1823 by John Foulston, located on Ker Street in Devonport, Plymouth. The building is designed in the Egyptian style and features a rectangular plan with stuccoed walls and a roof that is hidden by a parapet. It has a symmetrical three-bay front, with tapered roll-moulded architraves that frame each bay in the shape of a pylon. The side bays are topped with coved hoods, and there are smaller similar hoods above the first-floor windows. The ground floor includes tripartite windows with single lights above, featuring original patterned glazing. A central recessed porch is flanked by two Egyptian columns and is accessed by a flight of stone steps. In front of the porch, there is a pergola-like wrought-iron basket-arched frame. The interior has not been inspected. This building is unique in the Plymouth district, with the Egyptian House in Chapel Street, Penzance, being its closest counterpart. It is part of a significant group of civic structures designed by Foulston, which are among the most remarkable for their time in the country.
