Description
Inverness Court Hotel is a pair of terraced houses built around 1890 to 1900. They feature a stone facade and a tall pitched roof covered with green slate. The building has five storeys, an attic mansard, and a basement, with each house being two windows wide. The entrances are located on the left and have segmental arches with rusticated surrounds. The ground floor has bow windows, with No 1 having a segmental bow and No 3 a square bow.
Above, there is a balcony on the first floor with an ornately carved balustrade. The windows are architraved, with segmental heads on the first and second floors and paired square lights above arched transoms. The third floor windows are square headed, while the fourth floor windows are segmental headed. Continuous balconies span the first and third floors, with individual iron balconies on the second and fourth floors. The third and fourth floors are connected by paired Ionic console pilasters between the bays.
The windows are casements, some featuring leaded lights. A heavy console cornice sits above the fourth floor, and there is a balustraded parapet. The outer attic windows are pilastered and gabled, and the roof has balustraded cresting. The building also features shafted chimneys and wrought iron area railings.
