The Marine Hotel, The Masonic Hall, Red Gables Public House And Attached Wall

The Marine Hotel, the Masonic Hall, the Red Gables public house, and attached wall date from approximately 1896 and were altered in the 20th century. They were designed by Oliver & Leeson of Newcastle upon Tyne for the owners of the Middlesbrough Estate and comprise three villas that have since been converted into two public houses and a central Masonic Hall with a surrounding area.

The buildings are constructed of dark-red brick with moulded brick dressings and wooden balconies. The roofs are covered with grey-green slates, with return gables tiled in plain tiles to the left and fishscale composition tiles to the right. Brick chimneys are present.

The exterior presents a symmetrical 9-window range over two storeys and attics. The central entrance has a 6-panel door with side and overlights, set within a surround with a segmental brick head and rubbed brick voussoirs. Similar detailing features on the windows, most of which retain upper glazing bars, although some have been altered in the Mariner public house on the left. Triple windows are located on both floors, flanking the door. A half-glazed door serves as the central light to the left of the entrance, with a single light above. Canted bay windows project on each floor in bays flanking the door, rising above the eaves to form gabled fronts containing Venetian windows with moulded aprons and keyed architraves. The recessed wings feature doors with side and overlights in the inner bay and paired windows in the outer bay. A wooden veranda exists on the ground floor of each gable and wing, supported by chamfered wood pillars, with a matching first-floor balcony. Corbels are present at the first-floor level of the Masonic Hall, but the original balcony or canopy has been lost. The roof has three gables over the Masonic Hall and Venetian dormers over the wings. Tall, panelled, corniced ridge chimneys are a prominent feature. The returns each display paired gables, with those on the right return projecting over bows.

The interior retains original doors, door surrounds, and staircases, though bar fittings date from the late 20th century.

A dwarf wall with painted stone coping encloses the forecourt.
