Description
The Antelope Public House, dating to 1922, was designed by Holland Hobbiss for Mitchells and Butlers Brewery and is located on a corner site. It is constructed of English garden wall bond brown brick with diaperwork in the parapet and painted stone dressings. The tiled hipped roof has ridge cresting and moulded stone coping, with brick axial and end stacks. The building's plan includes a square public bar at the front and a rear wing facing Baker Street, incorporating two smoke rooms. The architectural style is Domestic Revival.
The front elevation facing Stratford Road is almost symmetrical with three bays. A central round arch doorway is composed of three orders, featuring interlacing moulding and a billet hood mould, with ovolo-moulded, two-light stone mullion-transom windows to the left and right, linked by a band that rises to a large panel above the doorway. This panel features a relief of an antelope superimposed over a tree (by William Bloye) with the inscription 'The Antelope' below. Two similar first-floor windows flank the doorway but lack transoms, with the left-hand window being three lights. The south return has paired two-light windows on the ground floor, three three-light windows above, and a sundial in the parapet at the centre, topped by a shaft with a moulded stone base. The rear wing, set back at an angle, has a two, one, one, two range of two-light mullion-transom windows and a three-centred arch doorway within a single stone frame on the ground floor, with gabled half-dormers breaking the deep eaves above. All windows have been replaced, with only the transom lights of the smoke-room windows retaining their leaded panes.
Inside the public bar is a tall panelled dado with carved arrises and a cornice, simple linenfold panels above a small stone chimneypiece, a panelled bar front, and a central wooden pier (ventilation duct) with carved arrises, lion masks and a spreading capital with intersection grille tracery. The smoke room features an Adam-style plaster ceiling and a panelled bar front and dado.
