Appraisal
This renovated public house has a prominent position on busy Grattan Street. Standing high above the neighbouring buildings, it gains stature and authority in the streetscape. The use of contrasting stone on the upper floors creates tonal interest and is unique in the row. The substantial pubfront contributes positively to the streetscape.
