Roofline of Foster's Almshouses
The almshouses were rebuilt in the late 1800s by architects Foster (no relation) and Wood. They took inspiration from the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune in Burgundy (a charitable almshouse) and designed the new buildings in the flamboyant Victorian Burgundian Gothic Revival style that was fashionable at the time.
The roofline features many intricate and ornate details, uncommon in the city.

Bristol - BS1
Foster's almshouses with the Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne - built in 1490 – can be seen here on Colston Street. The almshouses were rebuilt in the late 19th century in Burgundian regional style copying 15th Century domestic French architecture (a distinctive roof-form punctuated by tall clustered chimneys, ornate diaper brick & tile-work and Gothic detail). Thus, the chapel is the only part of the original complex remaining.
