1903. W J Morley and Son, architects. A large sandstone ashlar 4 storey block built
for the Methodists. The elevations designed in a mixture of Jacobean and
Renaissance details popular in Bradford for public buildings at the turn of the
century. Panelled pilasters articulate the front on each floor between moulded
sill courses. Elaborate segmental and triangular pediments over centre lights of
tripartite dormers, baluster shafts dividing the lights. Tripartite mullioned
windows to main floors. Shop fronts on ground floor. The central entrance bay
has a large segmental portal (elaborate partly leaded glazing to upper part) rising
into first floor with oriel bay window above. Corbelled pinnacled buttresses flank
this upper level and rising above the parapet, decorated with urns, is a graceful
octagonal drum with archivolt lights and Ionic columns supporting a copper dome
with crowning lantern. The dome makes an important contribution to the skyline
of the Vicar Lane area. Long range extending back along Chapel Street with
mullioned windows and gables.
