Friends' Institute buildings, Educational building complex in Balsall Heath, England
The Friends' Institute buildings at 220 Moseley Road feature red brick construction with terracotta decorations across multiple connected structures for community activities.
Constructed in 1897 with funding from the Cadbury family, the buildings were designed by architect Ewan Harper as a Quaker meeting house and community center.
The assembly hall accommodating 2000 people hosted significant Quaker Yearly Meetings in 1908 and 1954, representing major religious gatherings of the period.
Birmingham Centre for Art Therapies now operates in the complex, while Birmingham City Council manages other sections for community programs and activities.
The basement gymnasium hosted the first international athletics competition between England, Ireland, and Scotland in March 1900 through the Dolobran Athletics Club.
