Background

History

Originally built as a townhouse in the 1830s, the first known owner was a merchant and financier, Elias Mocatta, who lived at the house between 1839 and 1849. The building was then occupied by a surgeon called William Bainbridge and his family in 1851. Another doctor, Charles Bowman Wilson, lived there with his family from 1861 to 1881. The building was home to Liverpool Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which used it as a shelter from 1885 until 1944. The building was later used as a health centre before being bought by the University in 2017.

Architecture

Historic England describes the building as "Brick with stone dressings, slate roof 3 storeys with basement." The building has a central Greek Doric portico up three steps and an extension to the left.
