Bishop's House, Birmingham, Gothic Revival residence in Birmingham, England
The Bishop's House featured intricate brickwork and a spiral layout design that connected all four sides leading to a central great hall.
Built in 1840, the residence was designed by Augustus Pugin for Thomas Walsh, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham, opposite St Chad's Cathedral.
The interior contained medieval-inspired furniture based on pieces from the Bishop's Palace in Wells, reflecting the Gothic Revival movement of the time.
The house stood at the intersection of Bath Street and Weaman Street until 1959, when it was demolished during Birmingham's inner ring road development.
The building's architectural elements influenced the development of rational construction principles and contributed to the foundations of modern architecture.
