Description
No. 496 on Streatham High Road is a former coffee tavern built in 1878 by Ernest George. The building is constructed of brick and features a tiled roof with some areas of pargeting. It is a three-storey structure with dormers facing the main road and a lower hall at the rear. The front block is two main bays wide, each bay containing two square-headed small paned sash windows on the first and second floors. These windows are topped with pediments, and the façade includes brick pilaster strips, a brick cornice, and a parapet. There are two pedimented dormers with pargeted gables and small paned casements, along with tall chimneys at both end gables. The ground floor has a projecting shop front from the 20th century. The single-storey hall range at the rear has a steeply pitched roof and features five small paned pedimented dormers, as well as a carved brick scrolly pediment above the entrance.
