Star And Garter Public House

The Star and Garter Public House is a public house built in 1877, located on Fairfield Street in Manchester. It features red brick with stone dressings and a steeply-pitched slate roof, set on an irregularly shaped corner site. The building exhibits a Gothic style with some Baroque details and stands three storeys tall, including half dormers.

The façade facing Fairfield Street has five bays and is symmetrical. The second and fourth bays contain coupled windows and pedimented half dormers, while the centre has single openings and a small half dormer. All half-dormers are adorned with corbelled pilasters, and the pediments display checker-board patterns, with the central dormer topped by a shaped gable and a segmental pediment.

A central square-headed doorway is framed by a stone architrave. The windows are round-headed on the ground floor, segmental-headed on the first floor, and square-headed in the dormers. The eaves are plastered and coved, and there are tall chimney stacks. The right corner of the building is canted and features a projected triangular porch with a doorway in a Baroque surround, above which is a half-dormer similar to the central one, inscribed with "AD 1877". The return side of the building maintains a similar architectural style.
