The Canterbury Hotel is located on the corner of Canterbury Road and Tincombe Street, in the inner west suburb of Canterbury. This heritage listed pub was designed by C. C. Ruwald and built in 1941. It was formerly known as the Hotel Canterbury and Inter War Hotel. The parapet with winged horses as decoration, reflects the proximity of Canterbury Racecourse.

I really like that architecture.
ReplyDeleteThe building reminds me of a steamship. All it needs is balconies with white painted railings and a paddle wheel on the rear.
ReplyDeleteSandra is right! Art Deco suited both ships and pubs :)
