Description
This building, which includes The Queen's Head Pub, was constructed in 1886 with additions made in 1895. It is a three-storey and attic corner block situated on a sloping site, featuring a public house on the ground floor and tenement accommodation above. The High Street elevation has a bowed three-bay design, while the Cross Wynd side has approximately four bays. The exterior is made of tooled yellow sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, showcasing a first-floor frieze and cornice, a second-floor lintel course with a modillioned cornice, and an eaves course with a cornice at the attic level. The building also features quoin strips, shouldered window margins with aprons on the ground, first, and second floors, corniced windows on the first floor, bracketed cills on the second floor, and round-arched windows in the attic.
On the High Street side, there is a two-leaf, eight-panel timber door to the left, a large window in the center with a timber-panelled basement hatch below, and another large window to the right. The first and second floors have single-light center windows and bipartite stone-mullioned outer windows. A balustraded eaves parapet encloses a balcony, with a flat two-bay attic storey behind. The right section of the Cross Wynd elevation has a three-bay front with a central bipartite window and single-light outer windows on the ground, first, and second floors. The outer left section is a single bay with a stepped-up ground floor, featuring two timber-panelled doors with rectangular fanlights flanking a window in a corniced architrave. There is a stone-mullioned triple-round-arched window on the first floor and a single light on the second floor.
The ground floor has plate glass, while the upper floors feature four-pane glazing and plate glass in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has metal ridges, with coped ashlar wallhead stacks and octagonal buff clay cans on the Cross Wynd elevation.
Inside, there is a two-leaf, half-glazed, timber-panelled inner door leading to the pub. The bar area features dark timber with a timber-boarded bar counter and a highly ornate mirrored gantry. The interior also includes tongue-and-groove timber panelling up to dado level and decorative cornices.
