Ship Hotel, 5 Shore Street, Drummore

The Ship Hotel, dated to the earlier 19th century with later alterations, is a two-storey and attic, three-bay hotel. The front (north) elevation is harled and painted; the east elevation displays painted rubble. Painted dressings include a broad, mannered doorpiece centred on the north elevation, featuring flanking brackets topped by ball-finialled nailhead plinths and a panel depicting a ship in painted relief above the lintel. A modern door now occupies this opening. The windows on the north elevation have architraved margins with recessed inner bands, scrolled lintels, and buckle-quoin detailed tabs to the outer bays at ground floor. Small flanking consoles are visible on the margins to the windows in the outer bays at the first floor, with a similar buckle-quoin detailed tab to the central first-floor window. The dormer windows project from the roof above the outer bays, each with a piended roof and iron flag-like finials.

The east elevation includes a timber gate to the right and a blank space at first floor (the ground-floor detail is not visible). A modern, two-storey, flat-roofed addition is attached to the left. The west elevation is visible above the adjoining house at No. 7 Shore Street.

Modern timber top-hopper glazing is present, along with two- and four-pane glazing in the dormer windows. Coped skews are present on the northeast and northwest sides. The building has broad, painted rubble gablehead stacks, purple-grey slates, some octagonal cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods, including a moulded rhone with decorative fixtures, and a downpipe to the northwest.

The building was marked as the "Ship Inn" on an Ordnance Survey map of 1894.
