Newport House, Grade II* listed gildhouse in Dogpole, Shrewsbury, England.
Newport House stands as a red brick building with Doric columns at its entrance, featuring classical architectural elements and symmetrical window arrangements.
The structure, completed in 1696 for Francis Newport, First Earl of Bradford, replaced a 16th-century mansion known as Castle Gates House.
The building served as the headquarters for Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council from 1917 to 2004, marking its central role in local governance.
Archaeological surveys during the 2004 renovations revealed artifacts from the late Saxon period, demonstrating the historical layers beneath the structure.
William Hazledine, who purchased the house in 1821, contributed to the industrial development of Shrewsbury through his work in the Coleham iron industry.
