An imposing looking residence. - a photo on Flickriver

            Chaucer House.

One of the many imposing houses built beside Queens Avenue overlooking the Victorian park of the same name. The Dresden estate comprised contrasting housing with the wealthier residents living close to the park and many of the working class properties being situated at the bottom of the hill laid out in terraces.
The estate was developed following funding acquired through the Longton Freehold Land Society in 1850 after Liberal reforms in an act of 1832 attempting to effect voting qualifications.
The house is currently split into individual flats.
