Description
Zion Chapel is a building dated 1810, located on Union Street. It is a two-storey structure built of Bath stone, resting on a projecting plinth. The building features a string course at the first-floor level, a coved cornice, and a parapet with plain coping. The roof is hipped and covered with slate.
On the first floor, there are three arched windows, each five panes wide, with radiating and concentric glazing at the heads. The ground floor has two similar arched windows, along with central six-panel double doors set in a plain opening. These doors are framed by a Doric porch supported by angle piers and pilasters, topped with a modified entablature and a parapet that has moulded coping.
The chapel is enclosed by plain contemporary railings with four piers along the street, and the gates are decorated with wrought iron infill below the rails. The north flank of the building features three tall round-headed windows with glazing bar sashes.
