A most distinguished Georgian building, its "High Street elevation the best in Bath", with uncommonly good Victorian additions. The Georgian centrepiece (Image]), designed by Thomas Baldwin and built in 1775-78, is refined Adamesque, whereas John McKean Brydon's extensive additions of 1893-96 strike a bolder tone, particularly the Vanbrughian rooftop pavilions (Image]). Grade I listed. Standing in the foreground is the Rebekah Fountain erected in 1861. Grade II listed.
