History

Built in the third quarter of the C19 and first shown on the 1890 Ordnance Survey, part of a piecemeal terrace of the mid C19 that perpetuates the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon. No 15 was originally the Three Crowns Hotel and was built with No 13, while No 17 is probably a later addition. No 17 was a butcher's and grocer's shop in 1895.

Exterior

A pair of 3-storey 2-window shops with dwellings above, of rendered walls and roofs on dentilled eaves of thick slates, No 17 slightly higher, with a roughcast stack to the front slope between the 2 properties. Added skylight to No 15. In the middle storey are 12-pane hornless sash windows, in the upper storey 9-pane hornless sashes. In the lower storey, No 15 has a front with panelled pilasters to a doorway on the R side, a low replaced stallboard, 2-light plate glass window and fascia with dentilled cornice that projects above the doorway where consoles are enriched by carved heads. The doorway has a replaced door and overlight. No 17 has a former doorway to the L but the door infilled as part of an inserted shop window, although an earlier cornice is retained. A further doorway, with replaced door, is to the R.

No 15 has a rubble-stone rear with replaced windows, while No 17 is enlarged in the rear elevation and has replaced windows.
