Piermaster's House, Grade II listed building in Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, England.
The three-story brick residence displays stone cornices, sash windows, and a hipped slate roof characteristic of Victorian architectural design at Albert Pierhead.
Built in 1852, the structure served as residence for Liverpool's piermaster who managed dock operations and ship safety during high tides.
The interior recreates a 1940s household setting with period furniture, ration books, and gas masks reflecting life during World War II.
The Museum of Liverpool manages this free-admission site, open daily from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, located near Tate Liverpool.
This residence stands as the last remaining building from an original group of four houses, with three others destroyed during World War II bombings.
