Built between 1853-8 to a design by John Dobson for the Anti-Burgher Society, later Presbyterian, this is a Grade II Listed building which is, "rather grander than the character of the square" (The Buildings of England Northumberland 1992 edition). In the 'Northumberland Square Conservation Area Character Appraisal' (North Tyneside Council 2014) it was considered to be one of the landmark buildings in North Shields.
