The Goth, 50 West Main Street, Armadale

The Goth is a public house located at 50 West Main Street in Armadale, dated 1924 and incorporating earlier elements. It is a single-storey, five-bay building featuring a three-stage Baroque entrance tower. The exterior is constructed of stugged and bull-faced ashlar with raised, tabbed margins and ashlar dressings. It has a deep base course and an eaves course, with keystoned, round-headed doors and bipartite windows set under flat lintels.

The tower on the south side has round-arched openings on the south, east, and west sides, with a portico-style first stage that includes square-plan prostyle columns and moulded capitals. A cavetto cornice leads to a tall second stage, which features pilastered and segmentally-pedimented panels on the south side inscribed with "ERECTED IN MEMORY OF MALCOLM MALLACE PRESIDENT APHS LTD 1901 TO 1922." The pediment is dated "1924," and there is a clock face below the cornice with a raised center, along with small round-headed openings below the clock face on each return. The slightly setback third stage has carved scrollwork angle stones and leads to an octagonal louvered belfry.

The south elevation facing Main Street is symmetrical, with the projecting tower at the center masking a moulded doorpiece that has a granite step and the inscription "WINES SPIRITS ALES" above the door. The flanking bays feature windows with dividing colonettes and carved screen aprons. There are doorways to the outer right and left, with the left doorway converted to a window.

The building has plate glass glazing in the fixed windows, graded grey slate roofing, and coped ashlar stacks with ashlar-coped skews. The interior is modern.
