Alfred East Art Gallery

The Alfred East Art Gallery, built in 1913 by J A Gotch, is a Grade II-listed building designed in a Neoclassical style. Constructed from Weldon stone ashlar, it features a low-pitched roof behind a parapet and is a single storey structure set on a rusticated base. The façade has no windows and showcases a Roman Doric order with half columns at the center of the side elevation, framing the main entrance arch, which is adorned with rusticated chamfered voussoirs and a carved keystone. At either end of the front, pairs of columns frame raised panels and wreaths with garlands.

The main entrance opens onto a small courtyard that contains Kettering's Grade II-listed war memorial, also designed by J A Gotch. A panel listing the names of those who fell in the First World War is located on the end wall of the gallery facing the memorial, with a similar panel added after the Second World War and another for those lost in later conflicts.

The Alfred East Art Gallery is adjacent to and accessible from Kettering's 1904 Grade II-listed public library. Together with the public library, the art gallery, the Alfred East Monument, and the Dryland Fountain, they form a cohesive group of significant structures.
