Hog's Head, 2 Baker Street, Stirling

The Hog's Head is a public house built around 1905, located at 2 Baker Street in Stirling. This three-storey building is angled on a corner site and includes residential accommodation above the pub. The ground floor features a keystoned round-arched arcade, a deep base course, and a chamfered corner bay, topped with a deep fascia. The first floor is constructed of squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the second floor is harled. A string course runs above the first floor, and there is a cill course at the second floor.

On the southwest elevation facing Baker Street, the building has a two-bay design with a chamfered entrance bay on the right. The ground floor has arcaded public house bays, and above, there are bipartite windows in the outer left bay, with a crowstep gabled dormer head breaking the eaves above the second-floor window. The bay to the right features single windows, with the second-floor window having a curvilinear head that also breaks the eaves.

The corner bay is chamfered and includes the pub entrance at ground level, which has two-leaf, part-glazed doors. Ornate corbels flank the entrance, supporting a canted corner tower that has regular fenestration on both floors and a substantial polygonal roof above the eaves, topped with a finial.

The southeast elevation, facing Friars Street, has two arcaded public house bays at ground level to the left, with a blocked opening and a door to a common stair on the outer left, framed in architraved surrounds. Above, there is a two-bay design with single windows on each floor to the left, breaking the eaves in a swept dormer head at the second floor. The outer right features bipartite windows that also break the eaves in a crowstep gabled dormer head at the second floor.

The building has timber sash and case windows with a small-pane glazing pattern on the upper sashes and plate glass on the lower sashes. The second floor windows facing Baker Street are modern, lacking traditional profile and form. The roof is covered with grey slates and red ridge tiles, with gablehead stacks on the mutual gable walls and a central ridge stack.

The interior was not seen in 1997.
