Cadw's description
Location
In a row of frontages near the N end of the street.
History
Erected in the third quarter of the C19, on the site of the former Plas Puleston, and first shown on the 1888 Ordnance Survey when No 4 was The Old Red Lion public house.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-detailed later C19 commercial building in the eclectic classical style prevalent in Victorian Caernarfon, retaining original character and detail, including a good shop front, and for its contribution to the historic integrity of the walled town.
