Summary

[General description] The new facade of the Arab Steed Hotel is Art Deco in style, featuring a ceramic tiled 'public house' dado, a corner balcony and shuttered windows. The five, two-storey terraces attached to the hotel were built in 1877 by William Holmesby and, although having a different owner, were designed to complement the hotel. Maynard John Lucas is the licensee at the time this photograph was taken.
