Overview

A black and white picture of a building which appears to have built at different times. The front flat roofed square building has Flemish brick work. The door is open, above the door is a metal coach style lamp and there are two windows either side of the entrance. On the right hand side of the building is another window. Along the top is a frieze which has the words 'Reading Room Hall Library'. Above the entrance and on the frieze is a unknown man's face. At the back of this front building in either corner are two chimneys. On the front of the building next to the entrance is what appears to be a noticeboard. Behind this front building is the second building which has an 'A' frame roof and it is also made of brick and there are four windows on the right hand side. The road in front of the buildings is dirt.
