Brownston House, Grade I listed building in Devizes, England
The Brownston House stands on New Park Street with dark rubbed brickwork, featuring two stories, an attic, and a basement with three dormer windows.
Francis Merewether, High Sheriff of Wiltshire and Member of Parliament for Devizes, commissioned the construction of this residence around the year 1700.
The building represents early 18th-century architectural standards with its symmetrical front, stone plinth, chamfered stone quoins, and elaborate stone cornice.
The structure maintains its original features, including an eight-panel door entrance, hipped roof with old tiles, and square brick chimneys with stone quoins.
Rainwater pipes of the house display engraved initials from Thomas Browne, a barrister who added Bath stone elements to the building in 1720.
