Description
The Dolphin Inn is an 18th-century inn, with mid and late 18th-century features, and part of it was refronted in the 19th century. It is constructed of brick, partly stuccoed, and has an old plain tile roof. The building has five bays, is two stories high with an attic, and is double-piled. The right side features a taller late 18th-century two-story, three-bay section with an outshot to the rear.
The 19th-century refronted section has a plinth and doorways located in the center and left bay, with two steps leading up to them. The doors are 19th-century, top-glazed, four-panel doors with a rectangular three-light fanlight above. Most windows are four-pane sashes, except for a large round-headed window on the first floor, which has its head rising to the underside of the cornice. All openings are framed with rusticated surrounds, and there is a wide string course on the first floor along with a band below the cornice, which is modillioned.
The roof features three irregularly spaced flat-roofed dormers and a large stack set laterally between the roofs at the right end. The right part of the building has a high plinth, and to the left, there is a half-glazed four-panel door above three stone steps, with a blank opening above it and four twelve-pane sash windows. All these openings have rubbed brick arches and painted keystones. The first-floor string course and modillioned cornice continue along this section. The roof is half-hipped, with a stack on the hip.
