An Edwardian public house built to the designs of Laurence McDonnell for a Mr Nolan, characterized by the lively red brick façade and embellished with a good-quality neo-Classical limestone shopfront surround. The timber pubfront with stained-glass overlights appears to be a later addition, while the rear of the building has been substantially altered, although a decorative timber shopfront surround is retained on the mews building (but possibly relocated from elsewhere). Nevertheless, the main elevation displays materials and architectural detailing typical of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial buildings. The building serves to enrich and diversify the remaining historic streetscape of Mount Street Lower, which is characterized by Georgian domestic terraces and late twentieth-century commercial blocks.
