Froomsgate House, Bristol, Commercial tower in central Bristol, England
Froomsgate House is a 15-story commercial structure in central Bristol located at the junction of Rupert Street, featuring distinctive brick cladding and significant height within the city center. The building houses commercial space and includes dedicated parking levels for vehicles.
The structure was completed in 1971, representing a major development in Bristol's modern era and standing where the Frome River flows underground beneath the city. Its name preserves memory of a medieval gate that once marked an important point in Bristol's urban layout.
The name comes from an ancient gate that once controlled access to Bristol, reflecting how the building sits on a site with deep connections to the city's past boundaries and growth.
The building can be accessed by multiple elevators that connect the various floors for convenient movement through the structure. Access to certain areas may vary depending on current use, so it's helpful to inquire in advance about which parts are open to visitors.
The building originally featured a mosaic mural map showing the surrounding area as it appeared in 1673, based on historical records of Bristol from that period. This artistic element connected the modern structure to older layers of the city's past.
