11, Swanpool Street

This is an early 19th century town house on Swanpool Street, Falmouth. The lower level is constructed of granite ashlar, the ground floor of brick with a continuous timber lintel over the openings, and the upper floors are slate-hung. It has a dry slate hipped roof with projecting eaves. The house has a double-depth plan, with an irregular rear.

The front facade is symmetrical with three windows, and three stories in height. The upper floors contain original hornless sash windows with glazing bars. The second floor sashes are shorter. Later 4-pane horned sash windows are on the ground floor, flanking a central pilastered doorcase with a moulded entablature and consoles. The original 6-panel door has flush bottom panels. A squat basement window is located at the far left. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to contain features of historic interest.
