Ralph Allen's Town House, Grade I listed architectural structure in Bath, England
The historic town house displays elements of classical architecture, including rustication, Corinthian pillars, and a decorated pediment made from Bath Stone materials.
Construction of the residence started in 1727 under the direction of architect John Wood, commissioned by Ralph Allen, a notable figure in Bath's development.
The building represents the rising social status of merchants in 18th century England through its grand architectural design and prominent location in Bath.
The property maintains its Grade I listed status, indicating the highest level of protection for buildings of exceptional architectural and historical importance in England.
Architectural drawings from 1855 reveal that a north wing once mirrored the original house structure, though this section no longer exists due to later modifications.
