Cadw's description
Location
Fronting the street in a block of houses near the SE end of Rating Row.
History
A house is shown here on the 1829 town plan with its long rear wing, but the porportions of the present house suggest that it is mid C19. It is said to have been named after the iron steamship the Olinda, wrecked off Anglesey in 1854.
Exterior
A 2-storey 3-bay house of cement-rendered walls with sill and head bands, and slate roof with stack to the L partly rebuilt in brick. The entrance, to the R of centre, has a modern half-lit door under a plain round overlight. To its R is a through passage. Windows are replacements in original openings.
The rear has a long single-storey wing.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwistanding window replacement, as a substantial C19 town house and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Rating Row.
