The gallery building dates back to the 1890’s and is on five floors with two dedicate sales floors. The property constructed in Derbyshire stone was formally Marsden’s General Store and the original layout; window configuration and tiled floors have been retained. However out of necessity some new features have been sympathetically introduced including a new spiral staircase and an atrium on the top floor, which replaced an ugly and very unsound dormer window.

To the rear of the property is the fully equipped framing workshop and above that is a flat roofed exterior area, which will be developed in 2006 into a sculpture garden with views up to Riber Castle.
