Description
The Henley Collection Museum, originally a workshop built in the late 19th century for William Henley, is located on Anzac Street in Dartmouth. The building is constructed of painted stone rubble with freestone detailing and features a slate roof. It is a small, low, single-depth structure with two storeys and a one-window range. The front of the building has a large cranked-arch doorway with a moulded head, stops, and chamfered jambs. This doorway is filled with a 19th-century three-bay timber frame in Gothic style, with the uprights designed with engaged finials. Below the transom, there is a central doorway that contains a bottom-panelled glazed door and similar sidelights, with boarded infill above the transom. The roof is parallel to the taller adjoining properties. Inside, the building is plastered and features a stick-baluster stair leading to a first-floor gallery. William Henley was an ironmonger and tinsmith who had a keen interest in science during his spare time.
