Description
The Globe Inn is a hotel dating to approximately 1900, situated in Weymouth. It is constructed of Flemish bond brickwork with stone dressings, and has a slate roof. The building's plan is almost square, with a service yard attached to the left. The main gabled roof faces East Street, while the side elevation to Mitchell Street features an eaves roof with a projecting central gable, representing a late Queen Anne style.
The East Street façade has a central section featuring a pair of small-pane casement windows flanking a strapwork plaster panel inscribed "The Globe Inn". This is set beneath a coved head to the projecting gable, which is decorated with arched framing and plaster infill, and a barge-board with dentils. An oriel window at first-floor level has eight, twelve, and eight panes, with pilaster mullions, a moulded cornice, and a deep skirt. Further to the right is a six-pane sash window beneath a curved moulded pediment. Flush stone quoins alternate with the brickwork at each corner. The ground floor features a bold modillion cornice and a deep fascia displaying "The Globe Inn" in raised lettering, above a wide, paired plate-glass window with a transom and an oculus in decorative scrollwork. To the left of the main entrance is a tall, part-glazed door with a flush-chamfered lintel, accessed by two stone steps. An open arch with panelled pilasters and a segmental head is positioned to the right, leading to recessed doors. A high, coped wall sweeps down to the left, terminating in a brick pier. The Mitchell Street return elevation is plain, with various four-pane sashes and a tall brick stack with a moulded capping and arcuated frieze in flush stonework. A slated lean-to extends to a small carriage house within the service yard. The front to Mitchell Street is given a similar design to East Street, with an off-centre gable above two small-pane casements and a canted oriel window. The right-hand gable is raised and coped, with some slate hanging. The interior has been altered to the ground floor. The building is included in the listing due to its contribution to the townscape and the quality of its external detail and design.
