Bathroom Hall

The bathroom hall at the Terminus Hotel is a short tiled corridor connecting the upstairs guest rooms to the shared bathroom facilities, the floor laid in small pale-green hexagonal tile with a darker tile border. The walls are tiled to waist height in the same pale green, plastered above. Doors along one side open onto the men's bathroom, the women's bathroom, and a small linen cupboard. The doors are timber, painted in the institutional dark green of the pub's working areas, scuffed at hand height where decades of guests pushed past them. A small overhead light fitting in pressed glass hangs from the ceiling at the centre of the corridor.

The bathroom hall served the upstairs accommodation rooms at the Terminus, which did not have ensuite facilities. Guests walked to the bathroom from their rooms; the publican's family did the same. The arrangement was the standard Sydney pub-accommodation layout through the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The visible building is the 1917 Tooth and Co. demolition and rebuild, and the upstairs bathrooms were part of that accommodation fit-out. The Terminus ran this way until the 1983 closure. After closure the bathrooms were sealed. The 2018 restoration rebuilt the upstairs bathroom facilities to modern hotel standards but kept the original tilework in the hallway as a heritage detail.
