  Façade of The Prince of Wales, Cardiff
• Description
  Colour photograph showing the St Mary Street façade of the former Prince of Wales theatre in Cardiff. Taken from across St Mary Street, it shows a central bay between shop buildings constructed in a Greek Revival style to reflect the Gothic style of the theatre’s Wood Street façade just around the corner. Giant columns in-antis above the ground floor are linked by a triangular pediment, which is open below. A square-headed niche containing a statue forms the centrepiece of the façade above a canopy bearing the words THE PRINCE OF WALES. The outer bays are in brick and stone with tall arched windows on the two upper storeys and shops occupying the ground floor.
