The Mitre Hotel, Ramsey. The four storey masonry building within a terrace is cement rendered on the front facade and is much altered at the rear where an extensive restaurant addition above the ground floor spans the width of the premises with a continuous 'picture' window.  The original cement rendered rear of the building is set back and only visible in the upper two floors.  The front facade however is extended to include the adjacent property to the south in a well proportioned neo-classical treatment.  The ground floor is expressed as heavily stone coursed, the door and window openings being framed with a triangular headed moulding.  The second and third floors windows are also framed within a flush panel facade, the heads of second floor windows having a curved moulding as opposed to the plain rectangular frame at the third floor.  The dormer windows of the roof are above a moulded cornice which spans the entire facade although there is a demarcation between properties by means of a suggested pilaster extension of the ground floor stone motif.  The interior is undergoing extensive renovation.  As a building the Mitre Hotel is altered beyond 'redemption' in terms of its original condition.  However the front facade retains some quality and has prominence on Parliament Street opposite the Court House which hints of its former importance as a stopping place of bishops.  The plaque on the facade refers to 1840 as the construction date of the present building.
