48, Kings Road

No. 48 Kings Road is a building dating from around 1830, located on a corner site that balances the Royal Adelaide Hotel. It is three storeys high and has a stucco facade. The building features one window facing the road, one window at the rounded inset corner, and four windows on the return side, with two of these being blind on the upper floors. The parapet has coping, and the windows are fitted with glazing bar sashes that have architrave surrounds and cambered heads. There is a Gothic pattern cast iron balcony on the first floor that extends to the first bay on the north return, positioned above the fascia of a former corner shop, which now has modern windows inserted. The north return side includes a five-panel door set in a fluted reveal, with small consoles supporting an archivolt arch over a large radial glazed fanlight. The Royal Adelaide Hotel and Nos. 48 to 52 form a group of buildings.
