Castle House, Bridgwater, Grade II* listed building in Bridgwater, England.
Castle House features two storeys with ornamental and structural concrete elements, including a staircase, handrails, and window frames in Portland cement construction.
Built in 1851 for William Ackerman, Castle House represents an early example of prefabricated concrete panels and innovative construction techniques during the Victorian industrial period.
The building stands as a testament to Bridgwater's industrial heritage, connecting traditional construction methods with modern cement manufacturing developments of the 19th century.
Located on Queen Street, the recently restored exterior facade of Castle House allows visitors to examine the early applications of concrete in residential architecture.
The structure incorporates experimental concrete elements throughout its design, making it one of the first buildings to extensively use Portland cement in England.
