Pound House

Pound House is a mid-19th century town house located on Pound Street in Liskeard, which has been divided into four flats. The building is made of stone rubble, featuring stucco on the front elevation, an asbestos slate roof, and a brick stack at the end. The right gable at the rear is partially covered with slate.

The house has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high, with a symmetrical front that includes three windows and an additional doorway on the right. The original 12-pane hornless sash windows are preserved on the first floor, while the ground floor windows have been replaced with modern plastic frames. The central doorway is adorned with pilasters and a moulded entablature, featuring a panelled reveal and door. An additional doorway on the side has a 4-pane door and overlight. The rear elevation retains its original first-floor windows, including a small 8-pane window in the centre flanked by two 12-pane sashes similar to those on the front.

The interior has not been inspected. Pound House is recognized for its architectural significance as a modest yet attractive example of a mid-19th century town house, showcasing restrained classical details and distinctive regional slate hangings. It also has group value with other 19th-century and earlier listed buildings nearby on Pound Street and The Parade.
