BAIR'S OTAGO HOTEL - Physical Description 1
Bair's Otago Hotel is a two storey manganese brick and render corner hotel in art deco moderne style. It displays typically strong horizontal elements in the facade and canopies, rounded corners, with vertical counterpoints of flag pole, rain heads and downpipes and an end bay with a central pier of full height brick. The cantilevered street canopy expresses the corner with a semi-circular end below a band of face brickwork containing the upper windows and a recessed upper verandah with a projecting balustrade and canopy. Other notable elements include:
- Barrel rain heads with circular grooves.
- Flagpole with typical deco mountings.
- The rounded glass brick infill to the upper corner.
- Timber double hung sashes with horizontal glazing bars.
- Horizontal step and groove mouldings to the stepped parapet.
- Relatively intact interiors with deco cornices.
- The sign on the parapet in typical deco lettering.
- Tiled dado to the ground floor.
- The verandah extends across the adjacent shop, suggesting concurrent construction.
Unsympathetic alterations have been made to the facade at ground floor level including: -The removal of original acid-etched glass windows with a koala motif and the name of the hotel
- The enlargement of the window openings by lowering of the sill.
- The removal of the black stepped reflective glass to the sides on the main entranceHeritage Study and Grading
