Description
The extension to The City Rooms, built around 1820-1850, is a single-storey structure made of stucco. It features one window positioned between wide rusticated pilasters at each end. The entrance is centrally located, flanked by Greek Doric half-columns. The building has a plain frieze with triglyphs in the center, a moulded cornice, and a shaped and panelled parapet at the center, along with small pedimental parapets over the end bays. This extension, along with No 10 and No 14, Knight and Garter Public House, forms a group with The City Rooms and its extension, and it also groups with 2-4 Market Place South.
