Owen Morris Roberts

[2] The family returned to Porthmadog when Edward Roberts was employed on the rebuilding of Capel Tabernacl in the town.

Roberts had originally been a ship's carpenter, but subsequently took over his father's joinery business, studied art and geometry with John Cambrian Rowland,[2] and trained himself to become an architect.

Secular buildings produced by his firm include The Albert Hall, Llandrindod Wells.

Many of his chapels are in the Italianate style, occasionally freely mixed with Classical elements, and often feature stair towers.

Roberts, who was a prominent member of the Liberal Party and a councillor for Merioneth,[2] died in Porthmadog in 1896.
