Description

This former public house, dating from 1901, was designed by James Cackett and Robert Burns Dick of Newcastle for the brewer Sir John Fitzgerald. The building is now in commercial and residential use.

The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with painted stone and stucco dressings. It has a modern timber shop front and a Welsh slate roof.

The building occupies a rectangular plot, with its main facade facing west onto Albert Road. Various extensions are located at the rear, accessed from Albert Mews.

It is gable-fronted and stands three storeys high with attics, and is two bays wide. The entrance features renewed panelled doors beneath fanlights with iron grilles, and an ornate frieze decorated with swags and tassels. The modern shop front sits recessed behind flanking columns-in-antis with moulded bases and acanthus capitals, a plain fascia, and a cornice. The first and second floors feature two four-light canted bay windows supported on thin brackets. These bays contain sashes with glazing bars in the upper parts. A frieze enriched with escutcheons and festoons runs along the second floor above the bay windows, topped by a deep but narrow cornice on thin brackets. The attic storey has a plain gable with four coupled sash windows, flanked by ornate shaped iron rainwater heads. The roof has renewed truncated end stacks.
