3 Penrhyn Buildings

3 Penrhyn Buildings, located at Nos 28-34 Penrhyn Road and Nos 1-7 Princes Drive in Colwyn Bay, is a building from the early 20th century featuring buff brick with white faience dressings. It stands three storeys tall and has a curved plan, consisting of three distinct sections symmetrically arranged around a central block. The central block includes three shops with white faience shop fronts on the ground floor and a decorative arrangement of windows above, featuring a 1-3-2-3-1 pattern. The narrow end bays sit over side entrances, and there is a pediment above 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. The building has a white faience cornice, and the side entrances are framed with moulded architraves and flat entablature hoods.

The shop fronts include one unit on the right 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. The central block is flanked by symmetrical outer bays, which are also three storeys high and topped 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. The first floor windows are adorned with white faience architraves and a white cornice band. While many of the shop fronts remain intact, some of the glazing has been updated.
