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.
