Willmer House, Grade I listed building in West Street, Farnham, England
The three-story red brick mansion features a Baroque-style facade with five bays, Doric pilasters, and decorative brick moldings throughout its exterior.
Built in 1718 for hop merchant John Thorne, the building later transformed into a boys' school, girls' school, and dental surgery before becoming the Museum of Farnham.
The building displays Georgian architectural excellence through its brick craftsmanship, particularly evident in the refined window surrounds and door frames.
The museum maintains regular opening hours, offering visitors access to local history exhibits, though upper floors remain inaccessible without stairs.
The brick facade required extensive restoration work in 2017, leading to protective scaffolding installation to prevent masonry from falling onto the street.
