Description
The Constitutional Club is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a five-window front and patterned brick facings. It has a steeply pitched slate roof that is hipped at the corners, with a yellow brick eaves band that creates a machiolated effect. The building retains its original decorative ironwork rainwater goods and has four gabled dormers topped with tile cresting and finials. The deep verges have bargeboards that form pointed arches, although the glazing has been modernized. There are two similar dormers on the side elevation.
The first-floor windows are housed in recessed panels, with a machiolated effect at the top. The brickwork is polychrome, featuring pointed arches and a continuous impost band. The windows below have two lights, with tropartite cusped lights above the tympani, all set with lead cames. The deep, moulded yellow brick sills are accented with paterae and a string course. To the right corner, there is a pentagonal bartizan oriel window that has similar detailing, including a spirelet with an ironwork finial. The freestone features decorated tracery, lead cames, and a moulded bracket on an angular brick shaft with a freestone corbel.
The ground floor windows are set within stilted arches, showcasing polychrome arches along with continuous impost and sill bands. The sash windows have six small panes in the upper sash and are supported by stone sills. A rectangular porch is located at the center of the front elevation. Above it, the first-floor will band forms a parapet that bears the lettering "CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB." The pointed polychrome arch is composed of two orders and features colonettes. Quatrefoils in the spandrels display a crown to the left and a mitre to the right, with stilted arches above the sash windows on the sides. The inner doors are panelled.
A similar architectural detail is present on the two-window elevation at the right end, although the first-floor windows here are paired within a single recess.
