The Red Lion Hotel

The Red Lion Hotel is an inn built around 1810, with later alterations and additions from the late 19th and 20th centuries. It features a granite ashlar front that is rendered on the right side, and has a hipped roof covered with bitumenized slate behind a parapet. The building has a double depth plan, with a large room on the left that may have originally been two rooms, and a smaller room on the right at the front. The entrance leads to an off-centre entrance hall on the right, with service and assembly rooms located at the rear. A former carriage arch to the right, which led to a rear courtyard, has been demolished.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical front that has four windows. The entrance bay, which is slightly advanced and located second from the right, features a plinth, band course, cornice, and parapet with coping. The first floor has four paired plate-glass sash windows from the 19th century in their original openings, complete with keystones and voussoirs. The ground floor has three similar paired sash windows. The entrance bay is adorned with panelled double doors that have an overlight and sidelights. A marble plaque on the front wall commemorates the Cornwall County wrestling from 1826 to 1926, in memory of James Polkinghorne, a wrestler from St Columb in 1826. The right side of the building includes a two-storey early 20th-century wing, which has sash windows on both the ground and first floors, along with double doors on the left. The interior has not been inspected.
