Title
Interior of Absa House in Commercial Road
Description
West wall in the Court Room of Absa House, 46 Commercial Road, Stepney (The United Jewish Friendly Society). A wooden panelled room with a heavy corniced ceiling. There are tables with chairs and a stand up piano. Pendant lights hang from the ceiling, and there is a portrait on the wall. This building is the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers' former livery hall. Built by the Company in 1871, it incorporated fabric from an East India Company storehouse of 1808. Gunmakers' Hall was sold in 1927 and let to the Order Achei Brith and Shield of Abraham Friendly Society. The hall was sold by the United Jewish Friendly Society in 1976 to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. The Gunmakers' Company reacquired the hall in 2007. Since 2009 the building has been used by the London College of Christian Revival Church Bible School. The Gunmakers Company Hall and Proof House, 46-50 Commercial Road, form a Grade II listed group; listing number 1239992.
