Welfare Hall, 30-34 Grant Street, Inverness

The Welfare Hall, located at 30-34 Grant Street in Inverness, was built around 1914 by the Catch-my-Pal Union, a temperance organization, as their local meeting hall. The building has a flat front and features a large decorative clock prominently mounted at the center. It is two stories high and consists of three bays, with a central door flanked by side-lights. The hall has large windows, including a three-light window on the first floor, and dormer heads that cut through the eaves, featuring timber mullions and a single transom. The outer ground-floor windows were presumably similar originally and include hopper-type top-lights. The exterior is harled with ashlar detailing, and it has slate roofs. Only the stump of an axial feature, possibly a ventilator, and the end stacks remain. There is also a low rear wing.
