    Guiding Star Hotel - Physical Description 1

    Description

    A Spanish Mission style, stuccoed, two-storey hotel, with Cordova tiles to a hipped roof and eaves broken by projecting parapets above the two side entries and the main corner entry. The last features a developed moulded parapet with angled tiles. Wrought iron balconettes are fitted to the upper semicircular arched windows above each entrance. Unadorned square brick chimneys project high from behind the roof line. The prominent corner site is compromised by lack of landscaping and extensive unformed gravel parking areas.

    Condition/integrity
