Park House, Gothic Revival townhouse in Cardiff city centre, Wales
Park House features four prominent gables, an open arcade at the front, and a loggia constructed with Pennant Sandstone and Bath stone elements.
William Burges designed this Grade I listed building in 1871 for John McConnochie, the Chief Engineer of Bute Docks, with construction finishing in 1874.
The architectural style of Park House influenced numerous buildings throughout Cardiff, establishing new standards for Victorian domestic architecture in the region.
Located near Cardiff Castle, this protected structure now functions as a dining establishment, maintaining its historical features while serving modern purposes.
The building contains an architectural irregularity where visitors encounter the underside of the main staircase immediately upon entering the structure.
