Second floor windows having lugged stucco surrounds and keystones. Name fascia and recent square-headed window and door openings to north elevation.
Appraisal
This public house successfully addresses its corner site with a chamfered corner connecting the north and east elevations. It is a fine example of the Victorian public house architecture which sprung up around the city in the late nineteenth century. The stucco work window surrounds and string courses demonstrate the high quality contemporary artisanship.
