REFERENCE:
Architect: Sir Robert Rowand Anderson
Central Station (NS56NE 77.00) is fronted by the Central Hotel of 1882-4 by Robert Rowand Anderson, designed initially as offices but opened as a hotel. Its massive Swedish C17-style tower makes a handsome contribution to the junction of Gordon St and Hope St. It is set between two monotonous elevations, generally C17 in style, but threaded with a storey of Italianate biforated windows. James Miller's extension of 1900-8 substitues a loggia at first- and second-floot levels. The interior (much redecorated since 1884), with heavy woodwork and plaster-panelled ceilings, is plain, and was fitted out by W Scott Morton and the Bromsgrove Guild. Overlooking the concourse, a grand circular columned room by Miller, the dome glazed by Oscar Paterson and Co.
