Oak House, Grade II listed building in Monk Street, Monmouth, Wales
The Oak House features architectural elements characteristic of mid-19th century Welsh residential construction, with its notable position at 26 meters elevation.
George Vaughan Maddox designed this residence in 1846, which later became the location of Monmouth's first telephone exchange following J.A. Rolls' intervention in 1902.
The building served as home to George Willis, a three-time Mayor of Monmouth who established the local Cottage Hospital during his residency.
British Telecom currently operates from this thirteen-room structure, located at coordinates 51.813861 latitude and -2.713145 longitude in central Monmouth.
During renovation work, investigators discovered a colony of 100 Pipistrelle bats that had established their home within the building's structure.
