3 Howe Street

This is a terrace of seven houses built in 1836, as indicated by a slate date stone in the gable. The row is located in Glasinfryn and appears on the 1840 Bangor Tithe Map as a row of back-to-back cottages. By 1889, the Ordnance Survey map showed only the top house as such, suggesting subsequent alterations. The terrace's existence alongside several similar rows in the village may be linked to the presence of a textile factory in 1840, indicating a concentrated provision of workers' housing.

The terrace is set at right angles to the road and presents a distinctive form: the top house faces the road as a wide, two-unit gable-entry dwelling, while the remaining six houses are stepped down behind it and each has a single unit with a double-depth plan. This arrangement might be a consequence of the row’s initial back-to-back design. The houses are constructed of rubble, rendered on the front elevation and upper gable, with the rear walls left exposed. They have slate roofs and brick stacks. The top house features a doorway to the right of the gable, and paired six-pane sash windows on each floor. A dated slate is set towards the gable apex, and a stack runs parallel to the ridge line. The houses behind have doorways to the left and a single window on each floor; most windows are four-pane sashes, although some original twelve-pane sashes remain in the rear elevations, along with some replacement windows. Brick stacks are positioned at right angles to the ridge line on the gable ends. The terrace forms part of a group of seven buildings.
