From the Wikipedia article
Hyatt House, or Hyett House, is a grade II listed building at 91 Westgate Street in the English city of Gloucester. The building is of a timber frame with stone and was probably constructed in the 16th century. According to a plaque on the building, an earlier dwelling stood on the site at least as early as 1455. The current façade was probably constructed by Nicholas Hyett (1709–1777), a local lawyer and justice of the peace. In 1988 the building was converted to flats by Avondown Housing Association and Gloucester City Council.

Background
History
Hyett House is believed to have originated in the 16th century, with substantial remodelling undertaken in the 18th century. The building is associated with the prominent Hyett family, who were involved in Gloucester's civic life during the Georgian period.
Architecture
Hyett House is a three-storey red-brick townhouse that showcases typical Georgian features, including a symmetrical front elevation, sash windows, and classical detailing. The central entrance is framed by stone pilasters and a moulded arch with a keystone and fanlight above. The building features stone quoins at the corners, timber sash windows with narrow glazing bars, and an original modillion cornice. Internally, it retains period features such as an 18th-century staircase and timber-panelled rooms.
