Kitty O’Hanlon’s Public House

Kitty O’Hanlon’s Public House is a public house built in the mid-19th century. It features a stucco exterior with a moulded parapet cornice and has a double-depth plan.

The building stands three storeys high and has a regular four-window arrangement. The first floor includes one original four-pane hornless sash window, while the other windows are later horned copies. There is a sill band and string that connect to the cornices of moulded hoods, which are supported by consoled pilasters flanking panelled and keyed round arches with moulded imposts. The second-floor windows are topped with keyed segmental arches, moulded architraves, and sill brackets. The ground floor showcases a full-width moulded entablature over a six-bay arcade of keyed round arches that spring from leaf-carved capitals and imposts. The windows feature nook-shaft jambs and two-pane fanlights, and the doorway, located to the right of centre, has panelled doors set in a taller arch.

Inside, the public house retains many original features, including moulded and carved plaster ceiling cornices in the ground-floor rooms. It is part of a notable group of buildings in the historic centre of Plymouth.
