| Description/Notable Features | Notable features include corner oriel and turret, slate roof, terracotta ridging, intact fenestration and relief lettering. Stylistically the Dan O' Connell Hotel appears to have been rebuilt about the same time as the Perservance Hotel, Brunswick St, Fitzroy. The architect for this later hotel, erected in 1911, was either a Mr Weaver (CUB architect) or Sydney Smith and Ogg. Given the similarity in design either of these could have been the architect for the Dan O' Connell. The building has a frontage to Princess Street and Canning Street, with the later expressed with a central decorative pediment and central group of three windows. Prominence is given to the corner by a projecting turret or bartizan. The red brick facade (now painted brown) is divided horizontally by two strong bands of cement render. The top band forms a parapet and has raised lettering bearing the name of the hotel. Relief render decoration is also incorporated on the pediment and turret. |
