The Red Cow Public House

The Red Cow Public House is a public house built in 1898 by Richard Reynolds Rowe. It features a combination of red brick and timber frame with a plaster gable and turret. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has gabled ends, a hipped corner, bands of shaped tiles, and crested ridge-tiles. The building has an L-shaped plan situated on a corner site and is designed in an Old English-Jacobethan style.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, with asymmetrical elevations. A notable feature is the ornate polygonal oriel turret at the canted corner, which includes pargeted panels, carved heraldic beasts, and a copper ogee dome topped with a tall finial and weathervane. The north elevation has three bays on the left with a broad timber frame gable that jetties out over canted bays, featuring two canted arches, a tripartite attic window, and decorative strapwork in the gable along with ornate pierced bargeboards, a ball finial, and a pendant. Between the gable and turret are two windows and a large hipped dormer with deep eaves.

The west elevation has three bays with a tripartite dormer, where the central light is segmentally arched. On the ground floor, there are plate glass windows separated by thin columns, with an entablature above that features a moulded cornice. The doorways have large console brackets and over-lights, and the canted corner includes a pair of doorways with semi-circular fanlights and a cartouche in the entablature above. On the left side of the north elevation, the window is canted. The interior has undergone significant alterations, particularly in the ground floor saloons.
