Hogarths, 5-9, Hotel Street and 10 Grey Friars

Hogarths Public House, located at 5-9 Hotel Street and 10 Grey Friars in Leicester, is a former insurance office built in 1915, with minor alterations made in the late 20th century. The building features a combination of ashlar and polished granite with ashlar dressings and slate roofs.

The exterior consists of three storeys. The Hotel Street front is designed in Neo-Greek style, showcasing eight windows and four slightly projecting giant baseless Doric columns that support an entablature and attic, which is topped with a plain pediment featuring acroterii. The central doorway has double panelled doors and a large overlight with margin glazing, set within a moulded and slightly battered door surround topped by a flat coved hood. Above the doorway, there are two casement windows with upper glazing bars, flanked by single narrow windows, and beyond these are large late 20th-century plate glass windows with two casement windows above, also with upper glazing bars. The facade is bordered by plain panelled pilasters with circular patterned capitals, and above in the attic, there are eight casement windows with upper glazing bars.

The Grey Friars front is designed in Baroque Revival style and features five windows. The rusticated ashlar basement has a projecting two-window centre with two sashes that have upper glazing bars, flanked by single similar set-back windows and single round-headed doorways with six-panel doors and fanlights in moulded ashlar surrounds. Above, the central slightly projecting ashlar bay is flanked by single giant Ionic pilasters, with a tripartite window on each floor, the first floor window featuring a central pediment. On either side, there are two sashes in plain ashlar surrounds on both floors. The central section is topped with an entablature inscribed with "FORTIS QUI PRUDENS" and surmounted by a pediment, with a balustraded parapet on either side.

The interior retains original Edwardian banking hall fittings, including panelled counters, iron screens, marble wall cladding, and ornate plaster ceilings. The central former banking hall features an original oval cupola.
