Walmoor Hill, English country house in Chester, England
The red sandstone residence stands on elevated ground overlooking the River Dee, featuring a grey-green slate roof and a T-shaped architectural plan.
John Douglas, a Chester architect, built this substantial residence in 1896 for his personal use and lived there until his death in 1911.
The building includes architectural elements from the Elizabethan period, incorporating monograms of JD and STD throughout its stone construction details.
After serving as Walmoor College and Hampton House School, the building functioned as Cheshire Fire Brigade headquarters until 1997.
The room above the two-storey entrance porch served as an oratory, with an oriel window positioned above the arched entrance.
