History

Built in the second half of the C19, part of the expansion of Tywyn following the arrival of the railway in 1863. The house is shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey. From the inscription on the front it appears to have subsequently been a bank, while faded paint suggests it was later a hotel.

Exterior

A 3-storey 3-bay house of scribed roughcast, slate roof behind a parapet on a moulded cornice, and a roughcast stack to the L. Openings are offset to the R side. In the lower storey the entrance is in the L-hand bay, and has a moulded surround to a recessed panel door and overlight. To its L is a segmental-headed passage doorway with replacement doors. Windows are 4-pane horned sashes in moulded architraves, also with a sill band in the middle storey. Between middle and upper storeys is a sign 'bank' in raised letters.

The rear has replacement windows.

Interior

Not inspected.
