Description

This property comprises a planned terrace of houses with a corner public house, located on Chapel Street in Devonport. The building dates to the 18th century and includes the former Crown Hotel. A public house sign with relief lettering reading "CROWN HOTEL 1880" is present.

The construction is stucco with stucco detailing, featuring a dry slate mansard roof concealed behind a balustraded parapet with a heavy moulded cornice. There are pedimented mansard dormers, one to each bay, with most retaining original sash windows. Tall stuccoed axial and end stacks are present, most with a moulded entablature and old clay pots. The building has a double-depth, corner-site plan, incorporating a canted corner bay serving as a public house entrance.

The exterior is three storeys plus an attic, with ten bays facing Chapel Street, five bays facing Cumberland Street, and one bay to the corner. The original four-pane hornless sash windows are largely intact, though many ground-floor openings are boarded up. The corner bay has a pub sign above a canted oriel window with a moulded cornice and corbelled apron, above a tall overlight and a pair of panelled doors. Other bays have segmental arched openings with moulded architraves on the first floor, and openings with pilasters, consoles, and alternating triangular and segmental pediments also on the first floor. The ground floor of the public house section is arranged in a 5:1:3 bay pattern, featuring a moulded entablature above tall shop windows and doorways divided by pilasters. A carriage entrance is visible in the second principal bay. To the right of the public house fascia is one bay with a blocked doorway, followed by a house with a segmental-arched doorway (formerly part of the pub), and finally a pair of houses with pilastered doorways and stepped entablatures, alongside segmental-arched window openings. A moulded string runs above the ground floor of the houses.

The interior remains uninspected. The building represents a late, high-quality design demonstrating stucco tradition, and is grouped with listed houses in Cumberland Street and George Street.
