Description


ISLINGTON

TQ3184NE HIGHBURY CRESCENT 635-1/46/451 (South West side) 11/02/91 No.3 and attached railings

GV II

Former meeting house. c.l850. Brick, stucco and roof of slate. Two storeys over basement, five-window range. Steps up to flat-arched entrance with cornice on consoles in a lower wing set back to the left; there is a flat-arched window above with moulded stucco architrave and cornice; between the entrance bay and the main front is a narrow bay, with a flat-arched window on each floor with moulded stucco architraves. The main front is framed by chamfered quoins and divided into three bays by brick pilaster strips. Ground- and first-floor windows flat-arched with moulded stucco architrave and cornice on consoles; sill band to first-floor windows; eaves cornice with paired brackets. Hipped roof with side stacks, the two bays to the left having a stepped parapet and side stack. Cast iron railings flanking the entrance with palmette ornaments. The interior, though largely gutted at the time of inspection, retains the original staircase with stone steps, roll-moulding to the dado and cornice; the upstairs room appears to have been furnished as a meeting room and retains: tongue-and-groove panelling to the dado; cornice; a screen to the east end with moulded panelling and cornice; and a coved ceiling to the three north-western bays with elaborately moulded beams. The window architraves on this floor have been removed, but remain in the building.
