Alexandra:
"An imposing later nineteenth century hotel building in a prominant location on the corner of Clommel and Mostyn Streets. It is depicted on the OS 1:500 Town Plan of 1889. Of four storeys with attics, the building was a hotel with shops, bars and reception on the ground floor.
Facing Mostyn Street there is a late nineteenth-early twentieth century cast iron veranda. Above this the building rises in a rendered six bay facade of two distinct parts bought together in a single composition. No. 47 has a fantastical corner tower rising an extra storey to a ribbed leaded octagonal cupola. No. 45 has its windows at a lower level than No. 47 and was presumably built as a separate property, having a separate entrance in 1889. However, the two parts share a common roofline, with attics lit by dormers in the slate mansard roof.
The three bay elevation facing Clommel Street is similar, but unified. The first floor has bay windows in the outer bays that originally descended to the groud floor, the far bay being slightly advanced. In 1889 there was a grand central entrance approached by steps rising above a forecourt."
