The Logan Rock Inn

The Logan Rock Inn is a public house that dates from the 18th century, with possible origins in the 17th century, and was remodeled in the 18th century. It was extended around the early 19th century. The front of the 18th-century section features granite ashlar, while the rest is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings, including a reused 17th-century chamfered lintel at the right-hand end of the 18th-century house. The roofs are covered with grouted scantle slate. The 18th-century part has gable ends with brick chimneys, one of which retains the stump of the original dressed granite chimney. The 19th-century wing has a hipped roof that runs at right angles to the original roof.

The overall plan is an irregular T-shape. The original house, now a single room, was likely a two-room plan with shallow pantries at the rear. It was extended on the left side in the late 18th or early 19th century and then extended at right angles in front of the left side of the original house in the early 19th century, creating a carriageway between the two sections, with a chamber featuring studwork walls above the carriageway.

The building has two storeys and has not undergone significant alterations since the 19th century. The original house features a two-window south front with original 18th-century window openings on the right and at the first floor on the left, while the ground floor on the left has 19th-century openings. The windows are likely 20th-century 16-pane horned sashes. Similar windows are found in the original openings at the rear and at the right-hand end. The 19th-century wing has three original 16-pane horned sashes in its front wall.

Inside the 18th-century section, there is a large granite fireplace on the left, which features a probably reused 17th-century chamfered lintel and jambstone. The inn is notable for its association with Lieutenant Goldsmith R.N., who, in 1824, along with some inebriated companions, dislodged the Logan Rock on nearby Treen Cliff and was required to replace it, which he accomplished through a remarkable feat of engineering. He later went on to re-erect Lanyon Quoit in Madron parish.
