Plas Llandybie  (demolished in 1968).
        Situated in the village. A late 16th century or early 17th century 
        residence of two storeys and attics; it contained a fine 17th century 
        oak staircase of four flights, with turned balusters, moulded strings 
        and handrails, square newels and turned pendants. At the top of the 
        bottom flight stood a dog-gate formed like a port cullis. There were 
        several 17th century or early Georgian doors, their halves having 
        semi-circular arches and recessed panels: the plaster ceiling and the 
        panelling survived in the parlour, and also remnants of the coved 
        ceiling above the stair well. Outside, and near to the residence stood 
        some large and impressive outhouses. The Plas had been used as a 
        farmhouse for about a century and a half, but towards the middle of the 
        present century the residence and outbuildings had become ruinous, and 
        in 1967 the Llandeilo Rural District Council recommended its demolition, 
        and, sad to say, consequent total demolition was carried out with the 
        utmost efficiency and expertise. Thanks to R.C.A.M. who visited it in 
        1911, and to Mr Vernon Jones who visited, photographed, and described it 
        in October 1968, we have a record of this interesting and historic 
        house. Owen Brigstocke of Llechdwnni farmed Plas in the second half of 
        the 17th century. It became the property of the Phillips family of 
        Liettygariad. Charles Phillips married in 1726 Jane daughter and heiress 
        of Arthur Gwyn of Piodau. Their only daughter and heiress Margaret 
        Elizabeth married Richard Vaughan of Golden Grove in 1751, and brought 
        Plas to her husband, and in due course passed to their son John Vaughan 
        (d. 1804) who devised it by will to Lord Cawdor. The mansion was 
        untenanted in 1776 when the outbuildings were let to David Fisher upon 
        his paying the window tax: it is called The Great House,
