Merion House

Nos 1-6 Mawddwy Terrace, Minllyn, Dinas Mawddwy.

The terrace of 6 workers cottages is built in a mountain-Gothic style with selected local slate laid on bed, and has slate roofs. Two cottages, bilaterally symmetrical, form a large gable at each end, set slightly forward to master the central cottages. Each cottage has a 4-paned half-glazed door with plain overlight, and 4-paned horned sash windows to both floors, all with triangular heads of shale voussoirs, and the upper floor windows in the central cottages set within five large raised and gabled dormers. Deep eaves throughout on extended purlins and ridge with shaped ends. Stone stacks on party walls, with necking string and outsetting heads. The large gable ends has decorative timber framing in the upper half. The internal partitions are said to be of slate slabs set on end, another innovation of Buckley and his architect James Stephens.
