Description
Number 37 is a hotel that has been converted into offices, with attached railings at the front. It was built around 1850 and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring a painted stone doorcase and dressings. It has a prominent timber cornice supported by modillion consoles, which returns at the left end. The roof is double span, covered in slate and hipped at the left end, with brick chimneys.
The exterior consists of a basement and four storeys, with a nine-window front. The basement windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills, and there is a plain impost band that is stepped and chamfered over the window heads to create lintels. The central portico has detached rusticated Tuscan columns and is topped with a balcony balustrade made of bulbous balusters. The double doors below have three raised and fielded panels and a plain fanlight, set in a round-arched doorcase with alternating long and short voussoirs.
On the ground floor, the windows are 4-pane sashes above a moulded sill band. The first-floor windows are grouped in threes with a central casement and brick sills. The second and third floors feature 12-pane sashes with slender glazing bars, with the windows on the third floor being squatter. The second-floor windows are above a plain sill band, while the third-floor windows are above a moulded sill band. All windows have flat arches made of gauged brick. A cantilevered balcony with a moulded arris remains on the first floor, though it lacks a balustrade.
At the rear, there is a one-storey service wing that is set at right angles to the front range, featuring three 16-pane sash windows with stone sills and flat arches of brick. The interior has not been inspected. The front railings are made of painted cast iron on a low stone plinth, with turned railings that have conical tips and standards topped with acanthus bud finials. The building was originally known as 'The George Hotel' and later as 'The North Eastern'.
