Description

Ellis's Bar is a three-storey building with a rendered exterior and slate roofs, featuring end wall stacks. It has a five-window range that is unevenly divided between the two original units, which have now been combined. Number 42 has an outer doorway to the left and paired canted bay windows. These bays are linked on the remodeled ground floor, dating from around 1920, to create a longer canted bay that is divided by pilaster mullions, with curved glazing in the central window and smoked glass. Number 44 also has a doorway to the left and an inserted window on the ground floor. Above the doorways, there is a 12-pane window set in an architrave with an entablature hood on the first floor, and a similar window in a stressed architrave with a keystone on the upper floor. The canted bays of Number 42 extend to the full height of the building, featuring 12 and 8-pane sash windows that are separated by fluted columns, with pilasters marking the outer angles. The first floor has decorated panels, continuous sill bands, and a cornice above each floor that continues as an eaves cornice to the second storey. Number 44 has a similar bay window as an oriel on the second storey only, with a 12-pane sash window in a plain architrave beneath it on the first floor.
