Dram Shop Public House

The Dram Shop Public House, formerly known as Savile House Hotel, is located on George Street in Kingston upon Hull. Built in 1894, it features late 20th-century alterations and was designed by Smith & Brodrick of Hull. The building is constructed of brick with a granite plinth and columns, and has ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and has a single gable with two ridge stacks that are panelled and coped.

The structure consists of two storeys plus attics and has a nine-window range. It occupies an obtuse angled corner site, with the front designed as a single symmetrical facade. The ground-floor and first-floor windows are two-light wooden casements with cusped heads, set within round-arched openings that feature pointed hoodmoulds and animal stops. The larger ground-floor windows are separated by pilasters.

An angled entrance bay includes a single window on the first floor, and above it is a corbelled dormer flanked by pilasters, which has a segment-headed recess containing a wheel window under a coped gable. Below this, there is a segment-arched porch supported by granite piers with enriched spandrels, which carries a balcony with corner pedestals and a lattice pierced balustrade. The original door has been replaced by a window in a shouldered round-arched opening, with a wheel window above it. On the first floor, there are four windows on either side, and above them are two through-eaves dormers with two-light wooden casements and coped gables. Below, on either side of the entrance, there is a window, followed by a late 20th-century door in a similar opening, and then two additional windows. The interior has mainly been refitted in the late 20th century.
