A 19th century public house on the corner of Harbour Street and Fort Road. Originally 2 storeys with plain window and door surrounds. Some evidence of the original fenestration survives, although much altered. The building has been substantially altered over time including the addition of a third storey with castellated parapet in 1918 which is slightly set back from the original building line. At the time of writing the building was being considered for demolition as no viable new use could be found. Information from RCAHMS (EAL) April 2008.
