Description
The Black Rock Public House is a small, late 18th-century building that stands five storeys tall and features one window. The exterior is finished in stucco with incised lines. It has a stone moulded and modillioned eaves cornice, along with a parapet above. A large round-arched recess with a stone cill extends through the first and second floors. There is a late 19th-century casement window at the top, and below it is a Venetian window that showcases a Tuscan order, fluted frieze, and dentil cornice. The early 20th-century public house front includes a wide elliptical arch with side pilasters, all of which are moulded and panelled, finished in glazed tiles. The rear of this building connects to No 26 Bread Street.
