Built in 1880, this building replaced earlier premises in Mount Pleasant.
Described variously as being in the domestic revival and old English styles,
it was designed by C. O. Ellison. The sculptural content is not separately
credited. There are a pair of lions rampant in terracotta above the porch
entrance and two sculptural reliefs on either side, set within the groupings
of ground floor windows. Each is a scene of Jesus healing by miracles. There
is also a splendid colourfully painted frieze along the top floor windows.
