68 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 28 Jul 2011
Very fine Georgian house, c1788, distinguished by the giant blind arch projecting under a pediment. Pedimented Tuscan doorcase too (Image]), as well as the familiar local motif of painted wedge lintels. If this were not the work of an architect (not that the profession technically existed at the time), it is likely to have been designed by a confident local mason or bricklayer who had fully digested pattern books. Grade II listed. Built for George Dunbar, merchant and future mayor, it is now in use by Liverpool John Moores University.
