GV II
Public house. 1864 and possibly later. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, polished grey and pink granite, stucco, roof obscured by parapet. Three storeys, three-window range. The ground floor frontage, which may date from the 1890s, is divided into five bays by Ionic columns of polished grey and pink granite carrying antae of polished pink granite with incised decoration. Three entrances with curved bay windows between. The wooden front is panelled at dado level with double panelled doors to outer entrances and arcaded overlights over the entrances. Modillion cornice over fascia with iron cresting above. First-floor windows flat-arched with segmental pediments, the middle window tripartite; second-floor windows similar but with triangular pediments; chamfered quoins to upper storeys. Parapet with balustrade. The interior has deal boarding to the dado, two marble fireplaces, a late-19th century island bar-back with engraved and faceted glass, and a bar counter probably of the same period; the last two items have probably been reset and possibly altered.
