Description
26 Great Percy Street is a former public house located on a corner site, built around 1850-1860. The building features yellow stock brick with chamfered rustication on the ground floor, along with rusticated stucco dressings and quoins. It has stucco stacks and an elaborate cornice at the projecting eaves, although the roofing material is obscured. Designed in the Italianate Villa style, the ground floor serves as a pub with entrances on both the front (Great Percy Street) and the side (Cumberland Gardens), while the upper floors are residential.
The building stands three storeys tall, with a one-storey rear extension facing Cumberland Gardens. It is double-fronted, displaying a three-window range on the front and a two-window range on the left return, with the far bay projecting forward. The first floor, known as the piano nobile, features a stucco sill band that acts as a parapet for the first-floor architraved casement windows. There is balustrading below the center window, and the windows on the front elevation and the first bay of the return have round-arched sashes with corniced heads and decorative fan patterns in the tympanum. The front center and the first sash of the return are set in deep recesses and flanked by pilasters with foliated, carved decorations on the architraves. The second bay of the return has a console-bracketed pedimented sash. Below the second-floor casement windows, there is a stucco Greek fret band with eared architraves, cornices, and bracketed sills. The elaborate moulded stucco cornice features a circular patterned band below it. The ground-floor pub front is rusticated and includes a fascia, stucco cornice, and a rear extension with a balustraded stucco parapet, although the openings have been altered.
Inside, the building retains its original bar back.
