Description
The Grapes Public House is a public house built around 1860, with later internal alterations. It features orange brick in Flemish bond on a painted stone plinth, with timber door and ground floor window cases. The building has a moulded eaves frieze and a bracketed cornice supported by heavy consoles, along with brick stacks on a slate roof.
The exterior is three stories high with a four-window front. There is a cellar opening in the plinth to the right of the central doorway. The current entrance is through a round-arched passage opening with a board door at the left end. The original entrance has a plain door set in sunk panel reveals, accessed by steps. This doorcase is adorned with plain pilasters on moulded bases, moulded imposts, a shaped frieze, and a moulded cornice hood. The flanking windows are composed of three lights with moulded mullions and transoms, set in pilastered frames with sills and cornice hoods. The first and second floor windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills and cambered brick arches, although one window on the second floor is blocked. The interior has not been inspected.
