The Queen's Hall, Charlestown

The Queen's Hall in Charlestown is a community hall designed by Robert Rowand Anderson in 1887. It features an L-plan layout with a rectangular section to the south, reflecting a Scots 17th century architectural style. The building has crowstepped gables throughout and is primarily harled, with a pebbledashed section to the south. The openings, stacks, quoins, and eaves course are finished in ashlar.

On the west elevation, there is a pedimented ground floor window to the left that breaks the eaves, featuring the Earl of Elgin's Coronet and the initials 'M L E' (Mary Louise, Countess of Elgin) in the tympanum. To the right, a gable wall has a tripartite window with a taller central window that includes a corniced pediment and an inscribed tympanum stating 'THE QUEENS HALL'. The window lintels are inscribed with 'ERECTED IN THE JUBILEE YEAR OF QUEEN VICTORIA'. An ashlar chamfered corner is present to the right, along with a cyma recta cornice and an inset panel displaying the Elgin coat of arms. There is also a pedimented window breaking the eaves in the right return, a flat-roofed porch with a 2-leaf glazed door between the left L-plan section and the right parallel section, and a crowstepped gable set back to the right with a first-floor window in the apex. The front gabled section has two basement windows and three windows above.

The north elevation features an advanced central door with a crowstepped porch and an advanced flat-roofed window to the left. There is a pedimented window to the left that also breaks the eaves, and an advanced gable to the right with two windows and a corniced gable apex stack, along with ashlar quoins.

On the east elevation, there is an advanced gable wall to the left with a window and a blocked-up window to the right. The gable wall is set back to the right and has a tripartite window with a taller central window that includes a corniced pediment. A tall corniced stack with ashlar quoins is located to the left between the parallel gable walls.

The south elevation has a door to the far right and five windows to the left, with a blocked basement window to the far left. The glazing patterns vary, predominantly featuring 12 and 6-pane timber sash and case windows. The roofs are pitched and covered with red clay tiles, with ashlar crowsteps. There are two rooflights on the south side and one on the north side of the south section, along with projecting ventilation grilles in the roof of the L-shaped section and decorative cast-iron hoppers.

The interior was not seen in 2000.
