Description
10 Crown Street is an imposing four-storey and attic corner block built between 1899 and 1901, designed by George Coutts and dated 1900. The building features a free style and is constructed from granite. The ground floor houses a public house, while the upper floors contain tenement apartments.
The façade on Crown Street has three symmetrical bays, which are linked to four symmetrical bays on Langstane Place by a canted angle. The ground floor is pilastered, although there is a modern shop to the left on Crown Street. The entrance to the upper floors is located at No 8 Crown Street, marked by a narrow central bay with a round-arched keystoned head supported by stumpy pilasters. Above this entrance is a shallow two-storey oriel window, which is bipartite on the third floor and features a pedimented wallhead dormer flanked by chimney stacks. The outer bays above the ground floor are also pilastered, with bipartite and tripartite pedimented wallhead dormers linked to the central dormer by balustrades.
The canted angle includes the pub entrance at ground level, with bipartite windows above and a shallow bell-cast roof topped with a pilastered and arcaded cupola featuring a fishscale roof and finial. The Langstane Place side is similarly detailed, with single windows in the central bays and a central corbelled stack rising through the eaves, flanked by wallhead dormers that create a free scrolled broken pediment. The roof is covered with slate.
Inside, engraved Art Nouveau glass remains in the pub windows, although the interior bar fittings have been modernized.
