The Lighthorseman Hotel

The Lighthorseman Hotel is a public house built around 1870. It features a white brick exterior in Flemish bond, with the front and returns painted, while the rear is made of orange-brown brick in English garden-wall bond. The building has a painted plinth, stone dressings, and a slate roof with stone copings and corniced brick stacks.

The hotel has a two-storey, eight-bay front. The entrance, located slightly to the right of the center, has a door made of four shaped and fielded panels with a segment-headed overlight, set in a pedimented doorcase featuring chamfered pilasters with floral run-out stops and foliate imposts. To the left of the entrance, there is a similar door leading to the bar, which is beneath a segmental arch on sunk-panel pilasters with moulded capitals and a vermiculated keyblock. The left end of the building has three round-arched, one-pane windows separated by colonnettes with foliate capitals, each topped with roundels and a continuous hoodmould featuring a keyblock. The remaining three ground floor windows are round-headed sashes bordered in ruby flashed glass, each beneath keyed hoodmoulds on corbel stops. On the first floor, there are eight one-pane sash windows beneath brick arches with faceted keyblocks. The ground floor windows have a sill band over sunk-panel aprons, with the sill band returning at the right end, and a heavy console cornice above the ground floor. A double frieze with consoles to the eaves returns on both gable ends.

The left return features a four-bay gable end with a curved corner bay. The street front detailing is repeated on paired ground floor windows between a panelled door to the left and a curved door to the right, as well as on the first floor sash windows.

Inside, the original layout includes a spacious tap room, snug, side lounge, and an upstairs function room. The tap room retains its panelled bar and mirrored backfitting. Historically, the pub has longstanding associations with the nearby cavalry barracks, which is reflected in its name.
