City Arms Public House

The City Arms Public House is a public house built in 1922, located on Frodsham Street in Chester. The building features a combination of brick and render with a red-brown clay tile roof. It is two storeys high and has two nearly symmetrical bays. The entrance consists of a free-style boarded oak door with strap hinges and a small-pane overlight set in a stone-dressed opening. On either side of the entrance, there are recessed small-pane bow windows. At the corner with Union Place, there are boarded oak double doors on strap hinges, flanked by massive oak brackets that support the first floor.

The upper storey has two 3-light small-pane rectangular casement windows, with the central lights featuring semicircular top-rails that project from the wall. The building is adorned with two cast rainwater heads and round cast-iron pipes. In the attic, there are 9-pane oval windows set within elaborately pargeted dentilled pediment-gables. The south side of the building includes a boarded barrel-drop door, a blocked doorway with flush stone quoins, and various windows. The first floor features a 3-light casement and a 4-light small-pane casement, along with two cast rainwater heads. A datestone on the front of the building is inscribed with "RWH 1922." The interior does not have any visible features of special interest.
