It is a historic building in Friar Street in Droitwich Spa, a town in Worcestershire, England. Constructed in 1935 as a hotel, replacing an earlier building which stood on the site, it later briefly served as the headquarters of Droitwich Borough Council before being converted to residential and commercial use. It also houses a local community theatre.

The five-storey building is constructed of brick, with steep tiled roofs, and has an H-shaped plan.
The projecting wings are gabled.
The building is described by the architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, as "dull between-the-wars semi-modern", with "mild Deco detail".[c] Features include an elaborate corner entrance from Friar Street and a series of French doors with metal balconies on the upper floors.
It is fenestrated with metal framed casement windows. There is a sunken garden behind.

About the Area
Friar Street was a centre for Iron Age salt production in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. By medieval times the area had become the 'upmarket' part of the town where the wealthy salt merchants lived. One of these houses, Chorley House, now the site of a car park opposite Norbury House, was demolished in 1962 and the public outcry this caused led to Priory House being restored and remaining properties being renovated.
