Crypt Chambers, Gothic Revival building in Chester, England
The red and yellow sandstone structure rises four stories with attics, featuring a square stair turret and multiple ornate bay windows along Eastgate Street.
Built in 1858 by architect T. M. Penson for William and Charles Brown, the structure stands on the site of a previous medieval house.
The building incorporates the Chester City arms near its shop entrances and displays carved initials of the Brown family, prominent local drapers.
Eight steps lead to the Row level shopping area, while five steps descend to the medieval undercroft level containing four bays of rib-vaulted chambers.
The medieval undercroft beneath the building remains intact and contains some of the finest examples of chamfered rib-vaulting in Chester.
