The Egyptian House, Penzance, Cornwall

            Originally two separate cottages, the buildings were purchased in 1834 by Penzance bookseller and mineralogist, John Lavin, who then added an additional storey and created the extraordinary Egyptian facade. This was inspired by the 1812 Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly Circus, London, which was sadly demolished in 1905.  The Egyptian House was restored in 1970 by the Landmark Trust, and is now rented out as holiday apartments.
