🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1880 · NIAH rating: Regional
This part of Pearse Street traditionally had a number of well known public houses and hotels, catering for the passengers embarking at the Westland Row railway station. This building retains much of its early form and fabric to the exterior, although the interior was substantially rebuilt following a major fire. The moulded brick detailing and segmental-headed window openings place it within a late nineteenth-century context. Its richly ornamented shopfront, replete with carved classical motifs, is characteristic of Victorian public house design, and the quality of its execution demonstrates skilled artisanship. This fine public house forms an aesthetically-pleasing focal point at this junction and contributes positively to the character of the historic streetscape.
