Description
Alfred Eadie Hall is a single storey, one-bay early 19th-century hall positioned at right angles to the east side of Newcastle Street in Kilkeel, with 20th-century additions.
The main structure features a pitched natural slate roof with red clay ridges to the principal pitch and blue to the wings. The main roof is gabled and coped to front, while the wings are hipped. Eaves are flush with timber fascia. Half-round cast iron gutters with matching downpipes serve the building. All walls are roughcast rendered with smooth rendered plinth and smooth render dressings to all openings, all painted.
The front elevation is abutted at centre by a single-storey porch with a pitched natural slate roof with projecting eaves, the slating carried out over the verge. The gable has decorative cusped painted timber bargeboard. On its front wall is a pair of painted sheeted timber doors set within a Gothic-headed opening. Both cheeks of the porch are blank. In the apex of the gable above the porch is a circular louvred vent, below which is a granite rectangular datestone inscribed '1832 / 1935' with labelled drip mould over.
To the front wall on either side of the porch is a single double-height lancet window with cinquefoil head and leaded diamond glazing. The front wall of the left and right wings is a continuation of the front wall of the gable. The left wing contains a window as those to the front gable but horizontally divided by a render transom. The right wing, slightly wider than the left, contains a similar window. Left of this latter window is a granite date plaque inscribed '1962', and below is a second stone inscribed 'The Alfred Eadie Hall'. The right gable of the right wing has a modern three-pane painted timber window to ground floor with a similar window above. The rear elevation of this wing is abutted by a single-storey flat-roofed extension containing a modern glazed stained timber door and top-hung two-pane window to ground floor, and two modern similar windows to first floor. The right cheek of this extension has a top-hung two-pane window to each floor and a chimney in the corner with the side wall of the main block.
The exposed right elevation of the main block has two tall semicircular-headed windows, each with a timber frame forming a pair of lancets with an opening vent set into each spandrel and painted cills.
The rear gable of the main building was originally the party wall of the original manse, now demolished. It is abutted to ground floor by a modern float roof garage belonging to the present manse. The exposed gable of the main block is rendered and blank. The left elevation and rear elevation of the left wing, and the left side wall of the main block are dashed and blank. A dashed dwarf wall with relatively modern steel railings and two sets of gates encloses the front to the street.
A 1950s manse to the rear has two dressed granite datestones inset into its porch wall, both salvaged from the original manse. The larger stone, at bottom, states 'Church of the United Brethren / 1832'. A smaller tablet above reads 'AD 1828 / Revd. I.A.'. A granite rubble wall to the rear of the manse encloses a Moravian graveyard containing mainly late 19th and 20th-century gravestones, all laid horizontally without surrounds. One stone commemorates Charlotte Josephine O'Neill, 'Who died 13 Sept. 1937 as a result of a motor accident'.
