This photograph was amongst those taken of old halls and homesteads from across the Parish of Halifax in 1937 by local photographer and antiquarian Hugh Percy Kendall.
The hall is a Grade II Listed Building. The following is from Calderdale Council's Listed Buildings descriptions:

North front is gabled of 3 bays with large double chamfered cross windows and a stepped 3-light window in the gable with hoodmould which has inscribed stops. The left hand ground floor window now door. Left hand return wall has other cross windows and a tall splayed stair window and lateral stack with offsets.
