Art Gallery and Shop (former Working Men's Free Institute)

The building is an art gallery and shop, originally the Working Men's Free Institute, constructed from roughly coursed rock-faced red sandstone rubble with Bath stone dressings and Welsh slate roofs. It is designed in a Gothic style with some mild Italian and Venetian details. The structure has two storeys, with the upper storey significantly higher than the lower. The gable end faces the street, featuring quoins and banding, along with a plain door and window on the ground floor. Above these is a large three-light Gothic window with colonnettes that have stiff-leaf capitals, pointed heads to the lights, and a chequerwork infill to the arch that includes a framed coat-of-arms. The gable is coped, with a louvred vent and a metal spike finial, and the roof is very steeply pitched.

On the right side of the building, there is a window on each floor, leading to a projecting bay that has an elaborate entrance porch with stiff-leaf colonnettes and a cranked head, featuring double doors. Above this porch is a stone balcony supported by brackets and a pointed arch window. The roof on this side is hipped to the right. The left side of the building is mostly obscured by a later Baptist Chapel. The rear elevation has not been seen.

Inside, the main feature is the stone open-well stair, which has a decorative wrought iron handrail believed to have been supplied from Glasgow. The column at the bottom of the stair is adorned with a fine Venetian Gothic capital. There are hooded fireplaces in the main lower and upper rooms, but any decorative finishes in these rooms have been painted over and are concealed by modern partitions and false ceilings.
