Engineers House, English country house in Clifton, Bristol, England
Engineers House is a country residence built from limestone with a balanced front and two full stories in the upscale Clifton area. The design shows classical details including a centered section of three windows and a substantial cornice running along the roofline.
The building was designed in 1831 by architect Charles Dyer for Charles Pinney, who held the position of Mayor of Bristol. Pinney's tenure as mayor coincided with a turbulent period marked by the political upheaval surrounding the Reform Bills.
The property contains internal architectural elements such as niches in the entrance hall, cast-iron balusters on the staircase, and Greek Revival cornices.
The residence sits in Clifton, a wealthy neighborhood with other notable buildings within walking distance. Visitors can examine the architectural details from outside, and may access the interior if visiting hours or tours are available.
The upper rooms once featured metal shutters as an unusual security measure dating to Pinney's time as mayor. This precaution reflects the tensions that gripped the city during that period.
