Mansion House, Grade II listed building in Roath, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
The Mansion House on Richmond Road features a symmetrical frontage of four bays with walls constructed of Pennant blue and Forest of Dean stone.
James Howell, founder of a department store, commissioned the Neo-Baroque residence in 1890 for his family of eleven children and household staff.
The grand hall with its carved woodwork, stained glass windows, and decorated doors hosts civic functions and displays paintings from National Museums of Wales.
The building maintains its role as a venue for Cardiff Council events, civil ceremonies, and weddings since its renovation in 1998.
The mansion incorporates two separate front entrances, as the original design allowed for potential division into two independent residential sections.
