Fonthill, Mercer Museum and Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, Historic museum complex in Doylestown, United States.
The concrete structure of Fonthill features 44 rooms, 18 fireplaces, and more than 200 windows across multiple stories and irregular floor plans.
Henry Chapman Mercer constructed Fonthill between 1908 and 1912 as an early example of poured concrete architecture in the United States.
The interior walls display thousands of handcrafted tiles, prints, and artifacts from Mercer's archaeological collection, including ancient cuneiform tablets.
