General Wade's House, Historic residential building in Abbey Church Yard, Bath, England
The symmetrical facade of General Wade's House displays five fluted Ionic pilasters across both the first and second floors with Georgian sash windows.
Built around 1700 and named after General George Wade, who served as Member of Parliament for Bath from 1722 to 1747.
The architectural design draws inspiration from Inigo Jones' house in Covent Garden, London, incorporating classical elements of Palladian style.
The ground floor contains a National Trust shop with public access, while the Landmark Trust manages the upper levels of the building.
The early nineteenth century renovation introduced a Regency-era shopfront with ornate fascia details and refined decorative elements.
