Originally a house built c.1850, the building was substantially remodelled and enlarged to form a chapel for the First Church of Christ Scientist in 1921 by Clayton & Black. Rusticated render. The front elevation is divided into two main sections: the southern portion forms the entrance, with a highly decorative pediment; the northern portion comprises the chapel itself, with two tiers of round-arched windows divided by pilasters, with basement level below.
