Description
The Port Hotel, formerly known as the Commodore Club, is a building constructed between 1832 and 1834 for the Captain-Superintendent of the Royal Dockyard. It was designed to match No 1, The Terrace, which is located opposite. The hotel features tooled squared limestone with a hipped slate roof and two stone ridge stacks. It has a basement and three storeys, presenting a four-window range with a cornice and a low parapet. There is a plinth and a first-floor sill band.
The upper windows include one 12-pane sash, two pairs of casements, and one blind recess. The first-floor windows consist of 12-pane sashes, with one inserted window between the first two. The ground floor has recessed arched openings, three small-paned windows, and a 20th-century door with a fanlight in the third bay. The end walls have three windows; the eastern wall, which is above a separately listed lodge, is mostly blind except for one 12-pane sash, while the western wall, which includes an exposed basement storey, creates a four-storey elevation with arched openings on the former ground floor. The fenestration has been variously altered.
There is a three-storey southwest service wing made of rubble stone, with square stone for the upper floor and a stack at the south end. Attached to the service wing is a long two-storey stable range made of rubble stone. This range has three ridge stacks and various 12-pane sashes across approximately nine bays, with the stable entry located towards the right end and a loft above. A coach house, added after 1858, is situated in a short west return, featuring a large ashlar arch facing north and two 12-pane sashes above. Previously, the coach house was located in the south gable end.
The interior has been mostly altered, with some plain plasterwork visible in the northwest ground floor room. There is no apparent evidence of the structural ironwork that was used in the earlier Nos 1-3 The Terrace.
