Probably the last Art Deco building to be built in Newcastle. Internal arrangement is reminiscent of those of Frank Lloyd Wright. Original furniture. At the opening in 1940 the church was described as "a simple and dignified edifice, every line of which expresses 'fitness' - fitness for vigorous service in a modern and 'different' world. It is a striking example of the dignity, strength and beauty that can be expressed through the firm horizontal and vertical line alone". The building cost over £30,000. The organ was built as a chamber instrument for Robert Afleck JP of Gateshead. It was purchased by the Unitarian Church in 1901 and moved from the New Bridge Street Church to the new one at Ellison Place in 1939. There is a bronze plaque in the inner vestibule in memory of the 1914-1918 dead of the congregation and a memorial to John Thomas Southern 1852-1912. Durant Hall is named after William Durant, an independent dissenting minister who came to Newcastle in 1645 and died in 1681. His headstone is on the wall of the outer vestibule. There are two paintings of Rev William Turner in the church. He was minister at the Hanover Square Chapel 1782-1841.

A school of medicine has existed in Newcastle since 1832, when the Newcastle upon Tyne School of Medicine and Surgery was formed by a few local medical men, including the Fife brothers. The initial nine students were given lectures in a room at Bell's Court, Pilgrim Street. After two years the founders rented the Barber Surgeons Hall in the Manors. The school grew and prospered until 1851 when two rival schools were started due to dissensions among the staff. The majority became associated with the University of Durham, where students could proceed to a licence in medicine and then to degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Medicine. The school was recognised by the Society of Apothecaries of London and by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. When the Barber Surgeons Hall was demolished, new premises were built in the gardens of Westmorland House, Westgate Road, and became known as the Orchard Street School of Medicine. The minority of lecturers formed the 'Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine and Practical Science' which was housed in the new Barber Surgeons Hall on Westmorland Road. After six years, there was a reconciliation. The two schools amalgamated to form 'The University of Durham College of Medicine'. Orchard Street had to be vacated in 1889 due to railway development, so the present college in Northumberland Road was opened. In 1906 the building was enlarged and improved by the addition of the Heath Wing, erected from funds left by Dr George Yeoman Heath, President of the College from 1874 until his death in 1892.

Named on Wood's plan of Newcastle upon Tyne, 1827. A "Jubilee School" was apparently built here in 1810 to celebrate the 50th year of the reign of George III. Built to designs by John Dobson, the building work was supervised by builder-architect John Stokoe. The school was built to honour George III's Jubilee wish that "every poor child in the Kingdom be able to read the Bible". The school was of pure Greek temple form with a Doric portico. Thomas Oliver (1844) reported that the school was in stone with a pediment inscribed 'MAY EVERY POOR CHILD IN THE KINGDOM BE ABLE TO READ THE BIBLE - GEORGE III'. The foundation stone was laid on March 23rd 1810 and the school was opened on 14th March 1811. A library was formed in 1822. The money subscribed for the school was in lieu of an illumination of George III to celebrate the 50th year of his reign. It was supported by voluntary subscription. The school educated the poor and was conducted on the Lancasterian plan. The school was entered via 24 steps from the gates on the New Road. To the right and left of the porch were the furnaces for heating the school. The inside of the school was 84 feet 10 inches x 40 feet. The room was 15 feet high and open to the roof. The master's platform was at the south end on 2 steps. The flagged floor rose to the north and was fitted with 21 chairs and tables. Two doors led out to the yard to the north. A teacher, Charles Frederick Springman was appointed in August 1820. Average attendance at the school was 400 pupils. Admittance was 1d per week.

Roman Catholic Priory. Foundation stone dated 1887. By Dunn and Hansom. Flemish bond brick with terracotta dressings, Welsh slate roof. Gothic style. Two storeys. Pent roof to porch containing half-glazed door with coloured glass. Cusped windows and lancets. Spiral-topped drip moulds, sloping sills and moulded surrounds to all windows. Lintel strings on first floor with mask decoration. Octagonal brick chimneys.
An intended tower and spire were never completed, but nevertheless the church and adjoining priory remain a commanding presence in the area. The interior was embellished over time. An original feature, however, is the sarcophagus altar, dating from 1798, from Fr Worswick’s recently-demolished church of St Andrew in Pilgrim Street (which had been served by the Dominicans in its latter years).
In 1895 new stalls were acquired and installed in the sanctuary. These dated from 1827 and had been designed by Edward Blore for Peterborough Cathedral. They had been ejected from the cathedral at the time of J. L. Pearson’s reordering of the choir c1894.
The most notable change in the twentieth century has been the addition of the upper chapel of St Dominic (the Hogg Chapel), with a fine carved St Dominic, an alabaster altar and reredos and a window by Harry Clarke Stained Glass Ltd. Less sympathetic is the full-width stone porch added across the west front in about 1960.
