Description
29 Clerkenwell Green is a former public house, now a restaurant, built between 1860 and 1865, possibly by Charles Gray. The building features different shades of yellow stock brick arranged in Flemish bond, with stone dressings and a shallow pitched Welsh-slate roof that has projecting bracketed eaves. It is located on a curved corner site and has three storeys with six bays, including a full-height three-bay extension on the left. The windows decrease in height as they ascend, with broad expanses of plain brick between the bays.
On the first floor, there are gauged-brick flat-headed ogee arches above paired 1/1 sash windows, separated by engaged columns. The second floor has gauged-brick round-headed triple 1/1 sashes, articulated by colonettes and featuring projecting bracketed sills with cast-iron guards. Below the second-floor sashes are stucco floral roundels. The ground floor has a modillioned cornice, although the good brackets are recent additions. The extension has similar but simpler details. The interior has been extensively altered, with no original pub features remaining.
