Description
6 Bangor Street is a three-and-a-half-storey shop with dwelling above, part of a terrace at 2-6 Bangor Street. The building is designed in a vigorous enriched classical style with a roughcast front, mansard slate roof (hipped to the right), and roughcast chimneys.
The ground-floor shop front has been altered but retains its original framing of plain pilasters with fluted consoles supporting a fascia with dentil cornice. The current shop window is plate glass over a boarded stall riser, with a recessed half-lit panelled door on the right side.
The upper storeys form a single coherent architectural composition. The middle and upper storeys are framed by double-height fluted and wreathed Ionic pilasters for each property, topped by a deep dentilled cornice and short Tuscan pilasters to the attic storey. Between Nos 4 and 6 an original cast iron anthemion finial is retained.
In the middle storey, No 6 has a pair of 4-pane horned sash windows in moulded architraves set above the capitals of Tuscan pilasters, with an iron sign bracket between the windows. No 2 (at the right end) features a tripartite window in a segmental-headed architrave, moulded above crocket capitals of pilasters and enriched with a foliage keystone; colonnettes with matching capitals flank the composition. The central round-headed light has been replaced, but the outer segmental-headed windows retain 4-pane sashes. Above the middle-storey windows runs a blank inscription band forming a plain architrave.
The upper storey has two segmental-headed 4-pane sash windows per property in moulded architraves set above Tuscan pilaster capitals. The attic storey features half dormers of varied designs: No 2 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 a round-headed 4-pane sash window under a moulded head with keystone, set in a round-headed half dormer.
The right corner is rounded and rebated between Ionic pilasters, bearing the raised letters 'Rhydalun House' at attic level. The right-hand side wall facing North Penrallt contains a single bay similar to No 2's front elevation, including attic dormer, except the middle-storey window lacks colonnettes.
Further right extends a plainer three-and-a-half-storey wing of four unequal bays with roughcast front, broad bands between storeys, a deep bracketed eaves cornice below the attic, and slate mansard roof. The lower storey has segmental-headed keyed architraves to 4-pane horned sash windows; a replaced door sits in the bay right of centre, while the narrow right-hand bay contains a boarded passage door. The middle and upper storeys have segmental-headed moulded architraves with keystones to 4-pane horned sash windows, with a similar 2-pane window in the narrow end bay (lower sash boarded up). The attic contains a central 4-pane round-headed half dormer; similar half dormers that were equally placed left and right have been removed and replaced by skylights. The right-hand bay has a small attic window.
