Crown and Anchor Hotel

The Crown and Anchor Hotel, located at 1260 Providence Street, is an early 19th century building with a stucco front that has undergone significant internal alterations and modernizations. It stands three storeys high with cellars. The building features a nine-window range on Providence Street and a five-window range on Westgate Street, with double-hung sash windows that include glazing bars set in plain reveals. On Westgate Street, three first-storey windows at the east end have semi-circular heads, while the second-storey windows have segmental arched heads. A notable feature is the Doric collonaded entrance on Providence Street, which consists of six fluted columns in antis that support a continuous entablature. The ground storey at the south end has a six-panel door between the columns, one original double-hung sash window with glazing bars, and a 20th-century doorway flanked by windows in an 18th-century style, also with glazing bars. At the north end, the ground storey has 20th-century shops. The roof is slate. The Crown and Anchor Hotel also has a late 19th-century frontage on Westgate Street, which is described under Westgate Street.
