Blackburne House, Grade II listed building in Liverpool, England
Blackburne House is a Georgian brick building in Liverpool featuring a central tower, stone dressings, and a slate roof. The structure spans two stories with basement and attic levels, displaying seven window bays across its front facade with paired columns framing the round-headed ground floor entrance.
The building was constructed in 1788 for salt refiner John Blackburne as a private residence. In 1844 George Holt acquired the property and established Liverpool's first girls' school within its walls.
The Women's Technology and Education Centre has shaped how the space functions since 1994, offering learning programs and community gathering. Visitors experience a place focused on supporting women's professional and personal growth.
The building now contains conference spaces, education facilities, a bistro, a health spa, and childcare services serving the local community. Visitors should note that access and activities vary depending on which part of the facility is in use.
The central tower features a prominent clock face within its domed roof that is visible from a distance. This feature makes the building a notable local landmark for finding one's way through the neighborhood.
