The former Albion Hotel

The former Albion Hotel is a pair of houses dating from the 19th century, located on Pier Hill. The main facades are three stories tall, finished in painted roughcast with a slate hipped roof. The single-storey elevation facing Castle Square features a parapet and rendered stacks on the right and ridge. It includes a half-glazed door with an overlight leading to Little Albion, and a 20th-century plate glass window to the right. To the left, there is a projecting forebuilding that resembles the form of Laston House. This section is stuccoed, with a band and parapet, and has slightly projected outer bays and a center bay. The outer bays feature roundels with long keystones, while the intermediate bays have leaded early 20th-century cross windows. The center bay is taller, with channelled piers, an arch, a triple keystone, and coping. There is a recessed 20th-century door leading to Harriet's House, topped by an overlight beneath a blank tympanum.

The three-storey facade on Pier Hill projects forward of No 3 Pier Hill. It consists of two houses with a single parapet line. The right side has a three-window range, featuring three small 20th-century timber oriel windows on the second floor, 12-pane hornless sash windows on the first and ground floors, and a center doorway framed in a 19th-century cut stone surround that is chamfered with a plinth and sloping coping. This door is also half-glazed.

The house on the left has a two-window range that originally contained 12-pane sashes, with a door positioned on the ground floor to the left. However, the second-floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements with top-lights in their original openings, and the ground floor on the right features a pair of 20th-century casements. The door on the left has been updated with 20th-century double-glazed doors, leading to a vaulted basement that is now part of Lower Deck, Pier Hill. The property has not been inspected.
