Description

The former Unionist Club, now known as Reivers Pool Hall, was built in 1897 by Andrew Black and features later additions. This three-storey building has an upper breaking eaves and a rectangular plan, consisting of three bays. At the rear, there is a mono-pitch brick stair section that connects to a large hall. Notable exterior features include a decorative bracketed balustraded doorpiece with seated lions, stone balustraded balconies, and prominent corniced and scrolled crowstepped gabled upper breaking eaves windows. An ornate octagonal bracketed centre ridge ventilator with a wrought iron weathervane adds to its character. The ground floor has a later 20th-century stone pillastered design that forms a geometric patterned screen. The building is constructed of smooth coursed ashlar, with stugged stone on the sides and coursed rubble with sandstone margins at the rear. It has a base course, a moulded string course on the first and second floors, and a stone bracketed eaves course. The windows are chamfered transomed and mullioned canted types. The rear hall features a later 20th-century raised flat roof.

The building predominantly has six-over-one pane timber sash and case windows, although there is some out-of-character uPVC glazing on the first floor. The roofs are covered with slate and have terracotta ridges, stone skews, corniced rectangular gable end stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is an encaustic tile recessed entrance doorway with a decorative mosaic floor, wrought iron gates, and an arched part-glazed inner screen. The interior features a large open timber dog-leg stairwell with tripartite leaded windows. The original plan form remains intact, with office spaces in the main building and a large hall at the rear, along with an additional hall on the first floor in the heightened section at the back.
