Griffin Hotel

The Griffin Hotel is a hotel built around 1872, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a corbelled cornice, a parapet adorned with quatrefoil panels, a pavilion roof, and gabled dormers that include pointed-arch windows with finials. This large Gothic Revival style structure stands on a corner site and consists of five storeys plus attics.

The Boar Lane side has three windows, while the Mill Hill side has five windows, including an oriel window and a clock at the corner. The clock displays the words "GRIFFIN HOTEL" instead of numbers. The first floor has round arch lights with inverted semicircular lights above, while the second floor features rectangular lights with rounded corners and shafts that end in finials below the round-arched lights on the third floor. The fourth floor showcases pointed arches with pilaster shafts.

The Boar Lane side includes 20th-century hotel and shop fronts, and there is a blocked doorway with pilaster shafts, carved capitals, and finials in the center of the Mill Hill frontage. Moulded and carved string courses run along the window heads and sills. The Boar Lane elevation has moulded stone shafts between the bays, which terminate with finials and gargoyles. Notable corner details include a stone oriel on the first and second floors, a clock face set in a pointed-arch recess with traceried panels, and flanking corbelled shafts with finials. The Mill Hill elevation features a central oriel on the second and third floors and continuous ironwork cresting over the ground floor.

The hotel stands on the site of an earlier Griffin Hotel, which was a coaching inn in operation since at least the 17th century. It was rebuilt as a railway hotel to serve the Leeds New Station, which opened in 1869, and was owned by the joint London and North West and North East Railway Companies. The original Queen's Hotel, which has since been demolished, was similar in style.
