Description

The Wheatsheaf Hotel is a mid-18th century building that stands five storeys tall, constructed of stucco on a small plinth. It features a gable end slate roof facing St Thomas's Square, with shallow wooden eaves cornices. The front has three recessed sash windows on the second floor, which include glazing bars and wooden frames. The first floor has two bay windows with five lights each, adorned with plain strips and a moulded shallow cornice, along with panelled aprons. The ground floor windows consist of two lights, are sash without glazing bars, and have wooden frames with block sills. The central entrance door is flanked by engaged Doric columns and topped with a small cornice. On Pyle Street, the gable end has an old tile roof and is three storeys high, featuring rusticated quoins. It has three sash windows with glazing bars, moulded flush wood architraves, and block sills. The old tile roof extends over No. 116 Pyle Street, with the upper storeys forming part of the same premises.
