Description
The White House Hotel is a hotel that has been converted into shops and offices. It was built in 1891 by T Brownlow Thompson, with the Jameson Street front added in 1909 by Gelder & Kitchen of Hull. The building was converted in 1994 by Hull Smith, architects. It is constructed of brick with ashlar and terracotta dressings, topped with slate roofs and various chimney stacks, and is designed in the Renaissance Revival style.
The building features a plinth and a dentilated main cornice. It stands four storeys high, plus attics, and has a four-window range along with a polygonal corner tower. The central entrance bay includes a two-storey canted oriel window with a strapwork decorated base and three glazing bar sashes on each floor. Below this, there is a painted terracotta doorcase with Ionic columns and a segment-headed doorway featuring a double keystone. Above the doorway, a Diocletian window with an overlight can be found.
On either side of the entrance, the upper floors have two sashes with glazing bar upper lights. The ground floor has late 20th-century round-headed shop windows. Above the cornice, there is a polychrome banded attic storey with a coped parapet and a shouldered central coped gable adorned with volutes. This section features five round glazing bar windows, each with four keystones. The corner tower has three sashes on each floor, with shaped recessed panels below the upper windows. Above the cornice of the tower, there are three smaller sashes with round-arched heads and double keystones, along with angle pilasters and a ramped coped parapet.
