Including Richmond Hotel

This listing describes a group of early 19th-century buildings, including the Richmond Hotel, featuring four stories and a basement with two-window stucco fronts. The buildings have rusticated quoins at No 45 and a channelled ground floor at Nos 43 and 45. They are topped with slate roofs, have bracket eaves, and red and stock brick chimney stacks.

Around 1900, full-height splayed bay windows with cornices were added, featuring horned sash glazing. Nos 43 and 44 have distinctive bowed doorcases with a triglyph entablature and fluted columns, along with panelled reveals and a panelled and glazed door with a traceried fanlight at No 43. A similar porch once existed at No 45 but has been replaced by a half-glazed porch. No 44 features an Art Deco-style half-glazed door. Nos 43 and 44 also retain their original interlace railings at the front.

The rear of the buildings is constructed of rubble and cement render, with mostly small pane sash windows. Inside, the buildings preserve foliage and dentil cornices, bolection moulded doorcases, reed and bobbin dado rails, panelled doors, and an original staircase.
