The Townhouse, Grade II listed hotel in Kingston upon Hull, England.

The Townhouse stands as a three-story building with a symmetrical Classical facade, featuring five bays and a central portico supported by Doric columns.

Built in 1846 for Sir James Alderson, Queen Victoria's physician, the structure later transformed into the Methodist Church Institute with 1,400 members by 1900.

The building retains its original architectural elements, including a cantilevered stone staircase with decorative iron brackets that demonstrate 19th-century craftsmanship.

Located at Albion Street in central Kingston upon Hull, The Townhouse functions as student accommodation primarily serving Hull University students since 2011.

The basement incorporates fireproof construction methods similar to those used in 19th-century textile mills, displaying industrial engineering innovation of its time.
