Description

St Mary's Club is a former customs house built around 1870. It features rusticated and scored stucco over brick with a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has five bays facing Hindpool Road and three bays on the left side facing Abbey Road, with symmetrical elevations.

Notable architectural details include a moulded plinth, a rusticated ground floor, and raised quoins on the upper floors, along with continuous moulded sill bands. The central porch has part-glazed, panelled doors flanked by antae, and there is a balustrade around the first-floor doorway, which has a casement in an architrave beneath a scrolled frieze and floating cornice.

The outer bays are adorned with two-storey, canted bay windows featuring sash windows arranged in a 2:4:2 pane configuration, with vermiculated aprons and keystones on the ground floor. Above, there are panelled aprons, architraves, and dentilled cornices. On the second floor, the sill band is decorated with scrolls, and the window architraves have scrolled friezes and floating cornices, with various casements present.

An entablature displays a Vitruvian scroll and the words 'CUSTOM HOUSE' in bold letters, topped by a dentilled cornice. The right side has a corniced stack, and there is another stack at the front centre. The left return has a flat elevation with a round-arched central doorway and an altered window on the right, while generally maintaining the same style as the front.
