Description
The former Penzance lifeboat house, built in 1884, is now used for commercial purposes. It is constructed from square coursed granite with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building is a single-storey rectangular structure with modern double doors beneath a replaced lintel. Above the door, there is a three-light oriel window with granite mullions, flanked by terracotta roundels displaying the RNLI crest. The gable is coped with kneelers and has an arched bellcote topped with a ball finial. The long side of the building has three square-headed small-paned windows. The lifeboat was housed in Penzance from 1803 to 1917, and this building specifically from 1885 to 1917, making it one of the best-preserved examples in Cornwall.
