The Mount, Georgian house in Shrewsbury, England
The Mount stands as a three-story red brick building with five bays, featuring a prominent portico supported by Doric pillars and sash windows throughout.
Built in 1800 by Robert Darwin, a local doctor, The Mount became the birthplace of naturalist Charles Darwin on February 12, 1809.
The Georgian architecture of The Mount reflects the neoclassical movement with its symmetrical design, thick stone cornice, and balanced window arrangements.
The building currently houses the District Valuer and Valuation Office, with visits permitted through appointments during regular office hours.
A local steering group initiated efforts in 2018 to transform The Mount into a public space dedicated to Charles Darwin's scientific contributions.
