The Carmarthen Public Rooms were built in 1854,〔The Welshman, 1854〕 with the intention to create public rooms were first expressed by Dr David Lloyd in 1839.〔Carmarthen Journal, 16 March 1839〕 Commonly referred to as the "Assembly Rooms" the building was designed by James Wilson (architect) of Bath 〔The Welshman, 1854〕 on the site of the Scurlock family town house, where Sir Richard Steele, founder of The Spectator, died in 1729. The site was occupied by The Ivy Bush inn 〔The Welshman, 1854〕 until c1801, and was then premises of the Timmins family, timber merchants. The Assembly Rooms had a 5-bay, 2-storey Italianate stucco facade with balustraded parapet, cornice, arched first floor windows between paired pilasters, and channelled ground floor with recessed sash windows and centre door. In 1918 an article appeared in the Carmarthen Journal stating that in future the Carmarthen 'Assembly Rooms' were to be called 'The Lyric'.〔Carmarthen Journal 1918〕 The Lyric is a theatre and cinema, and was recently refurbished.〔http://www.carmarthenshiretheatres.co.uk/index.php/en/lyric/about-lyric〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carmarthen Public Rooms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
