Description
The Porter Public House is a terrace house that has been converted into a public house, located at No. 15 George Street. It dates from around 1762 and likely was designed by John Wood the Younger, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a double pitched slate roof with moulded stacks on the right side.
The exterior consists of three storeys and has a two-window front. It is topped with a coped parapet and cornice that connects to the adjacent houses on the left. The upper floors have six-over-six pane sash windows, with plate glass in the second floor window on the right. The door on the left has a moulded architrave and cornice supported by consoles, while the ground floor on the right features an early 20th-century two-light window with ornamental glazing in the overlights.
The left return of No. 15 George Street, which is part of The Porter, includes plate glass sash windows on each upper floor, a sill band on the first floor, and a platband on the ground floor, along with cornices above a 20th-century Regency style window and door. The interior has not been inspected.
