Etruria Hall, Grade II listed Neoclassical building in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

Etruria Hall features a central three-story block with two-story pavilions on each side, showcasing prominent neoclassical architecture and a large pediment.

Built between 1768 and 1771 by architect Joseph Pickford, the hall served as the residence of potter Josiah Wedgwood until financial difficulties led to its sale in 1840s.

The ceilings, ornamental friezes, and chimney pieces were created by artist John Flaxman between 1781 and 1787, with potential contributions from William Blake.

The hall now operates as part of the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel chain, offering conference facilities and event spaces that can accommodate up to 450 people.

The cellars beneath Etruria Hall contained laboratories where Josiah Wedgwood developed new pottery compositions and conducted material experiments.
