Mauldeth Hall, Heaton Moor
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 17 Aug 2016
A Greek Revival villa with a Doric portico built "between 1832 and 1840 for Joseph Chessborough Dyer, an inventor who came to Manchester in 1812". It employed "recently developed fire-resistant building techniques for a dwelling, using Hodgkinson cast-iron beams [which had been developed in Manchester]". Grade II listed. It was a hospital for many years, but according to Wikipedia is now the official residence of the Chinese Consul General. Enabling development seems to have mushroomed behind.
