Thirlestaine House, Neo-Grec mansion in Cheltenham, England
Thirlestaine House features a central portico with four fluted Ionic columns and two distinct wings adorned with relief panels from the Parthenon.
The construction started in 1820 under architect James Robert Scott, with Lord Northwick acquiring the property in 1838 to display his art collection.
The building housed an extensive collection of paintings, coins, Greek vases, prints, gems, miniatures, and porcelain, open for public viewing year-round.
Located at coordinates 51.8906, -2.077, the Grade I listed building currently operates as part of the Cheltenham College educational complex.
The property's 1859 art sale lasted 22 days, attracting notable buyers including Sir Charles Eastlake who acquired masterworks by Gerard David and Raphael.
