Dutch Houses, Grade II listed building and retail establishment in Bridge Street, Chester, England.
The Dutch Houses comprise three units spanning four stories with an attic, featuring sandstone piers, timber framing, and distinctive barley sugar pilasters.
Built around 1670, the Dutch Houses remained the tallest structures on Bridge Street for over two centuries, reflecting trade connections with the Netherlands.
The buildings form a section of Chester Rows, an elevated pedestrian gallery system that exemplifies the medieval commercial architecture of Chester.
Modern retail spaces occupy the ground floor, while the upper levels contain residential units accessed through the Chester Rows walkway system.
The 1970s restoration replaced internal timber with steel supports, maintaining the exterior appearance while modernizing the structural integrity of the buildings.
