Built as the Gordon Working Lads' Institute in 1886 to the designs of David Walker. Excellent and quite unusual brick detail to the windows (Image]). "A handsome building (which would be more so if it had not lost finials and a cupola), it provided technical and physical education for the sons of working class, and contained classrooms, a gymnasium and a concert hall." Grade II listed. It now serves as Kirkdale Community Centre.
