Phoenix House, Queen Square, Bristol
Ashlar facade framed by pilasters with anthemion capitals (as in his terrace on the north side Image]), with a central semi-circular Greek Doric porch and a phoenix surveying it all. Built by Henry Rumley for himself, 1834. Grade II listed.
Queen Square is the best surviving Georgian ensemble in the city centre, and one of the largest Georgian squares in the country. Being laid out from 1699 (and largely complete by 1727) it was the first formal square outside London. The leases stipulated building heights but not much else so there is in general a lack of uniformity.
Now offices.

Mariner House and the Y.H.A.
Some of the large and imposing old warehouses, standing right beside what was the heart of the city's port. Naturally, with the closure of these docks other uses have been found for these sturdy buildings.

Merchant Venturers' Almshouses, Bristol
Homes for retired mariners since the 17th century. The plaque on the wall is a poem:
"Freed from all storms the tempest and the rage
Of billows, here we spend our age.
Our weather beaten vessels here repair
And from the Merchants' kind and generous care
Find harbour here; no more we put to sea
Until we launch into Eternity.
And lest our Widows whom we leave behind
Should want relief, they too a shelter find.
Thus all our anxious cares and sorrows cease
Whilst our kind Guardians turn our toils to ease.
May they be with an endless Sabbath blest
Who have afforded unto us this rest."
