It is partly in the Gothic and Elizabethan styles of architectureCa half‑timber design peculiar to Cheshire, having gables and dormers. The upper portion of the building is of ornamental brick, mixed with woodwork. The building is chiefly of bricks with dressings of Alderley stone, and the roofs are covered with red tiles. The contractor is Mr A P Cotterill, of Crewe; Mr. Beattie has been clerk of the works; Messrs Barker and Ellis, of Manchester, are the architects. The cost of the building is between £4,000 and £5,000. [Building News 16 May 1879 page 552]
