Maxwells Hotel (Numbers 50, 52 And 54)

Maxwell's Hotel, which includes numbers 50, 52, and 54, is a group of four houses that have been converted into a hotel with a café and amusement arcade. The buildings date from the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the late 19th century, including an extension to No. 54. Number 50 retains its original shopfront, which has been reglazed, while the shopfronts of the other buildings have been altered, with No. 58's shopfront dating to the late 19th century.

The materials used include rendered front for No. 50, featuring a brick dentil eaves cornice, while the other houses are constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond with a timber modillion eaves cornice. The roofs are covered with pantiles and have brick stacks. The extension to No. 54 is made of pink-cream mottled brick in English garden-wall bond and has a slate roof.

The exterior showcases a three-storey, five-window front. There is a carriage arch with a timber lintel beneath No. 56, and the hotel entrance is located in the shopfront of Nos. 52 and 54. The shopfront of No. 50 features convex panelled jambs with roundels in the head, and a glazed and beaded panel door to the right of a shallow three-light bow window over a beaded panel riser. No. 58 has a shopfront with panelled pilasters and a modillion cornice between terminal consoles carved with the Prince of Wales' feathers. It includes glazed and panelled doors with overlights that incorporate the same motif, flanking a three-light shop window with colonnette mullions over a panelled riser.

On the first floor, No. 50 has a four-pane sash window with a painted sill, while Nos. 52 and 54 feature tripartite bow windows, with No. 54's being a later insertion, having eight, twelve, and eight-pane sashes. No. 56 has a four-pane sash with a narrow painted sill and a flat arch of rubbed brick, and No. 58 has a canted bay window with a one-pane sash and a dentilled cornice. The second-floor windows are altered sashes, all with painted sills.

At the rear, No. 52 has a door made up of six raised and fielded panels, several sixteen-pane sash windows, and a radial-glazed staircase window beneath a round arch made of orange brick. There is also a two-storey, five-bay wing to No. 54, featuring narrow one-pane or four-pane sash windows with stone sills and heavy lintels. The interiors have not been inspected.
