This carefully crafted building was built in 1870-71, and is "...one of the largest surviving provincial clubhouses in the country." The archietect for the building was Edward Salomons, who possessed a great love of "surface decoration." The decor present on the Reform Club is unique. While most clubs chose to go for a classical style, Salomon sculpted the club in a more gothic manner. The outside of the building depicts three sculpted female figures, all representative of the science, art, and agriculture.

This sketch depicts St. Giles Rookery, the slum of the St. Giles district, with the church in the background.
