Former Dragon Hotel, early C19 alteration to a mid C18 house, formerly the town house of the Laugharne family of Orlandon. It was the birthplace of General Sir Thomas Picton in 1768, second in command to the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, where he was killed. The house was larger until 1908. A wing to the left stood on the site of the Albany church Sunday school, and is shown in a drawing of c. 1870 with a plaque 'School of Industry 1862', when the main house was already the Dragon Hotel. The wing was bought by the Albany trustees in 1890 but not replaced until 1908. The Dragon Hotel closed c. 2002. The spacing between the first and second floors suggests that the building was raised a storey in early C19.
