Avon House, Bristol, Commercial tower in central Bristol, United Kingdom
The 18-floor Avon House rises 60 meters above Marlborough Street, featuring a two-story podium with retail spaces and a church hall beneath the main tower.
Construction began in 1969 as part of Bristol City Council's redevelopment plan for the St James Barton area, which experienced destruction during World War II.
The building represents the International architectural style of the early 1970s, marking a shift toward modern commercial structures in Bristol's urban development.
Located adjacent to The Bearpit roundabout, the building provides direct access to Bristol's central business district and public transportation networks.
Television presenter Caron Keating and three performers completed a charity abseil down the building's exterior in 1987 for Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
