NIAH building record

Built: c.1865 · NIAH rating: Regional

This public house artfully addresses this prominent corner site at the junction of Camden Street Upper and Charlotte Way. Its brick-built façade is ornamented with shallow pilasters, and a decorative rendered pubfront. On the site of an earlier inn, it was reconstructed in 1871 for Andrew Wren, to the designs of R.J. Stirling. Now surrounded by buildings of recent construction, it adds character and context to this area. Formerly St. Kevin's Port, Camden Street was renamed for Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden in 1778.
