Rugby Public House

The Rugby Public House is a building that consists of two early 18th-century houses, which have been incorporated behind a mid-19th-century front. The upper floors are finished in stucco, while the pub's frontage is tiled. The façade features five windows, with a four-window return facing Great James Street. The 20th-century pub frontage includes fluted pilasters. Each upper floor has pilasters at the corners and where the two houses join, supporting sill strings. The second and third floors have moulded bands at two-thirds of the window height. The windows are architraved, recessed two-pane sashes, with the first floor showcasing bracketed cornices and the third floor featuring enriched heads. A bracketed cornice runs along the top. Inside, the pub retains cornices and cast-iron columns with Corinthian capitals.
