History

Substantial four storey commercial premises with the thin pilasters characteristic of Tenby buildings of the mid C19, but to a later C19 scale. In 1911 J D Gwyther, general and fancy dealer was at Milanese House. In 1977 No 36 was occupied by Harold Squibbs and the shop by Evans & McDowall, jewellers. In 2001 Evans & McDowall occupied the right hand shop and Phill-Kleen dry-cleaning the left one. Crackwell House on Crackwell Street is a nearly separate building, a narrow 4-storey block with parapet, probably also mid C19, as to a much taller scale than the adjoining Derham Lodge. Both ranges may incorporate much older fabric.
