The Western Pavilion

Tucked away in a tiny cul-de-sac in the centre of Brighton is The Western Pavilion. Built in the 1820’s by local architect, Amon Henry Wilds, as his own residence; it paid homage to the Royal Pavilion, Brighton's most famous and distinctive building.

Although the house has been converted and a shopfront inserted, it is still in residential use (the dome contains a large bathroom!), and has been listed at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

So typical of Brighton! I had no idea that building existed, looks great against the blue sky.

I don't think many people are aware of it. It is tucked away down a tiny dead end side street - opposite Waitrose!

I like that kind of architecture, so different from nowaday minimalism uniform boxes (at least here).
