Kentfield Billiard Rooms

II

Billiard rooms. 1810-1824. Stucco. Roof obscured by parapet.
One storey over basement. The elevation is symmetrical about a
broad, round-arched entrance. There is a flat-arched,
tripartite window to either side. Greek Revival Style. The
entrance has a keystone and a panelled lintel with fanlight
above. Its jambs are rebated and given a quarter-round
chamfer. The aedicule surrounding the entrance consists of a
pair of Tuscan pilasters with incised key panels. An identical
pilaster can be found at each party wall. The wall surface
running between pilasters and windows is rendered as banded
rustication. The windows have a moulded sill band, which has
been interrupted on the right by the insertion of a broad
entrance of C20 date. Across the top of the elevation runs a
broad entablature which sets forward above each pilaster; each
of these projecting imposts is ornamented with a single laurel
wreath.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
By 1824 this was one of 4 billiard rooms in Brighton. Between
1920 and 1927 it served as the Brighton Boys' Club.
