WOODLANDS (FORMER PALM AVENUE) HOTEL - Physical Description 1
The Palm Avenue Hotel is a symmetrical two storey brick building with two prominent stepped pediments at parapet level. The facade was refaced in 1891 when the building was enlarged and renamed the Woolpack Hotel. The ground floor has American Romanesque Revival detailing such as arched openings supported on short, stylised columns and ornate stucco decoration in the spandrels. The first floor and the parapet are treated in a freer fashion, with a mixture of arched and portal windows, a central balcony and stilted pediments and finials rising above the parapet. The roof is corrugated iron; the windows are multi-paned timber-framed sashes.
A large palm tree stands to the north of the building.
