Description
The Fruit Centre, formerly a Temperance Hotel, is a shop located in Chipping Norton and dates from around 1730. It features incised cement render and a gabled slate roof with dressed stone copings. The building stands three storeys tall with an attic and consists of three bays, characterized by banded quoins, blocked dressings, and large keystones, with those on the first floor connected by a band. There are two pedimented dormers with four panes each, and the upper two floors have recessed twelve-pane sash windows. The ground floor has a late 19th-century projecting shop front, flanked by door surrounds from circa 1730 that include eared architraves, heavy tripartite keystones, and pulvinated friezes.
