Description
No 16 Hardsaw Street is a former bank building, now a public house, dating from around 1860. It was extended and remodelled in 1878, with further alterations made in the late 20th century. The building features ashlar stonework on the north west front and red brick with ashlar dressings on the north east front, all beneath a Welsh slated roof.
The structure is two storeys tall and consists of ten bays, with the fourth bay projecting. It has a drip mould over the ground floor, a sill course on the first floor, and a top cornice with a parapet. The windows have cusped pointed heads and are sashed. The ground floor has a window arrangement of three, one, two, and two, with moulded jambs and foliated capitals. The first floor features three, one, three, two, and one windows, which include aprons with quatrefoil panels, foliated imposts, and spandrels.
The main entrance, located to the right of the fourth bay, is marked by a gabled porch with a lintel resting on round piers adorned with foliated capitals. Above the entrance is a pointed relieving arch with a sexfoil in the tympanum. The end bay has a pointed entrance with moulded reveals, capitals, and arch. The parapet displays a central gabled feature with arcading, rich carving, and flanking round pinnacles.
On the north east front, the building is also two storeys and consists of seven bays. The two bays at the north west end are made of ashlar and have ground floor windows that match those on the north west elevation. The remaining five bays are constructed of brick and feature sash windows beneath cambered arched heads. The centre bay includes a pointed arched doorway with a moulded ashlar surround.
