II

Public house. Mid-C19 with ground-floor frontage of c.1900. Brick stuccoed, the ground-floor front of grey and pink polished granite, roof obscured by parapet. Three storeys over basement, four-window range to Hornsey Road. The ground-floor frontage projects slightly; base of grey polished granite, and three entrances on Hornsey Road flanked by pilasters fronted by columns of pink granite on grey granite bases, with freely-designed capitals supporting fascia and cornice, and segmental pediment over central entrance; the central and corner entrances retain small pedimented cornices to the doorcase, and the Saloon Bar and corner entrances have elaborate wrought iron grilles screening their upper parts; the two windows to Hornsey Road are flattened bows with original glazing bars but no engraved or decorated glass; elaborate wrought-iron cresting to cornice. First-floor windows round-arched with moulded stucco architraves and keystone; sill band to second-floor windows which are segmental-arched with moulded stucco architraves; chamfered quoins to either end of Hornsey Road facade; moulded stucco cornice, now simplified on Hornsey Road; parapet; stacks set behind parapet. INTERIOR: . The plan has lost all its subdivisions, but the columns carrying the front wall survive, as does the embossed ceiling in large part. Good chimneypiece, presumably to former saloon, with pedimented overmantel framing engraved, gilded and faceted mirror-glass, and a series of five pedimented panels of engraved, gilded and faceted mirror-glass, four to south wall and one ex situ.
