Description
The Scotia Public House is a building constructed between 1903 and 1904, designed by architect Henry Grieves. It is made of red brick with ashlar dressings around the doors and windows, topped with a slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall and showcases Edwardian Baroque architecture, enhanced with some Art Nouveau details.
It is located at the corner of Mile End Road and King Street, featuring a bay arrangement of one bay facing King Street, three bays on the quadrant, and six bays along Mile End Road. The second and fourth bays on Mile End Road project forward and are topped with semi-circular pediments that rise above the stone modillioned eaves cornice. The sixth bay at the end extends above the eaves, forming a small square tower with a pyramidal roof and a decorative spiky wrought iron finial.
The ground floor openings feature semi-circular heads with heavy "Gibbs" surrounds, while the first floor openings are adorned with rusticated architraves, large keystones, and stone aprons. The central window of the quadrant and those in the second and fourth bays along Mile End Road are framed with Ionic pilasters, entablatures, and semi-circular pediments. The third floor windows are plain rectangular openings with stone frames. Above the curved roof of the quadrant, there is a small circular turret cap topped with a fine Art Nouveau wrought iron fleche. This feature adds a charming touch to the corner of the building, making it the best example of its type in South Shields.
