32 Penrhyn Buildings

32 Penrhyn Buildings, located in Colwyn Bay, is a Grade II listed building constructed from buff brick with white faience dressings. The structure features three storeys and has a curved plan, consisting of three distinct elements that are symmetrically arranged around a central block. This central block includes three shops with white faience shop fronts on the ground floor. Above, the design is articulated in a 1-3-2-3-1 pattern, with narrow end bays above the side entrances and a pediment over the two central bays.

Plain brick pilasters separate the windows, which are 2-pane sashes with margin lights, and there is a Greek Key frieze in the entablatures on the first floor. The second floor features 12-pane sash windows. A white faience cornice runs along the top, and the side entrances are framed with moulded architraves and flat entablature hoods.

The shop fronts include a right-hand unit that has been renewed, while the others retain their original features, including curved glazing with margin lights in the upper panes, tiled stall risers, and mosaic floors. Flanking the central block are symmetrical outer bays, also three storeys high, with steep hipped green slate roofs. These outer bays have leaded upper panes on the first floor and five 12-pane sash windows on the second floor, along with white faience architraves to the first floor windows and a white cornice band. Many of the shop fronts remain intact, although some of the glazing has been replaced.
