4 Bangor Street

Belongs to a group of 2-6 Bangor Street.

A terrace of 3½-storey 2-bay shops with dwellings above, in a vigorous enriched classical style. Roughcast front, mansard slate roof, hipped to the R, and roughcast stacks. The lower-storey shop fronts have been altered but the upper storeys form a single coherent design. The middle and upper storeys have double-height fluted and wreathed Ionic pilasters framing each property, a deep dentilled cornice then short Tuscan pilasters to the attic, which between Nos 4 and 6 retains an original cast iron anthemion finial. In the middle storey Nos 4 and 6 have a pair of 4-pane horned sash windows in architraves which are moulded above the capitals of Tuscan pilasters. No 6 also has an iron sign bracket between the middle-storey windows. No 2, to the R end, has a tripartite window in a segmental-headed architrave in the middle storey, which is moulded above the crocket capitals of pilasters and has a foliage enriched keystone, while colonnettes have similar capitals. The central round-headed light is replaced but the outer segmental-headed windows retain 4-pane sashes. Above the middle storey windows is a blank inscription band forming a plain architrave. In the upper storey each property has 2 segmental-headed 4-pane sash windows in architraves moulded above the capitals of Tuscan pilasters. In the attic storey of No 2 a half dormer has a pair of replaced windows in segmental-headed keyed architraves beneath a single open segmental pediment on moulded corbels. No 4 has a 4-pane sash window in a segmental headed keyed architrave to a gabled half dormer. No 6 has round-headed 4-pane sash window under a moulded head with keystone and set in a round-headed half-dormer.

The R corner is rounded and rebated between Ionic pilasters, and has 'Rhydalun House' in raised letters at attic level. The R-hand side wall, facing North Penrallt has a single bay similar to the front of No 2, including attic dormer, except that that middle storey window has no colonnettes. Further R is a plainer 3½ storey wing of 4 unequal bays. It has a roughcast front with broad bands between storeys, a deep bracketed eaves cornice below the attic, and a slate mansard roof. In the lower storey are segmental-headed keyed architraves to 4-pane horned sash windows. A replaced door is in the bay R of centre, while the narrow R-hand bay has a boarded passage door. In the middle and upper storeys are segmental-headed moulded architraves with keystones to 4-pane horned sash windows, with a similar 2-pane window in the narrow end bay, of which the lower sash is boarded up. The attic has a central 4-pane round-headed half dormer. Similar half dormers equally placed R and L have been removed and replaced by skylights. The R-hand bay has a small attic window.

The shop front is a C20 replacement but of the C19 shop front the fluted consoles to fascia with dentil cornice is retained.
