5, Victoria Square

This early 19th-century public house, now an agency, is located on Victoria Square in Truro. The front is rendered over studwork, replacing original stucco, and has an asbestos slate roof with projecting eaves supported by wooden brackets; the corner section has a hip roof. The building has a shallow, rounded plan suited to a corner site. It is three storeys high, with one window facing the street and three windows on the return, with four windows to the first floor. The windows are fitted with 16-pane sashes and horns. A 20th-century corner shop, designed in a Regency style, occupies the ground floor with pilasters, small panes of glass, a shallow fascia, and a lattice fanlight above the splayed corner entrance. Two windows are located on the right-hand return of the ground floor. The interior was not inspected.
