Charlotte House

Charlotte House is a Moravian chapel, later used as a Church of Christ Scientist, and now an office block. It was built between 1844 and 1845, with alterations around 1990, by James Wilson. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with a roof that is likely Welsh slate.

The building has a temple front, originally with a chapel behind, and a two-bay structure with a house attached to the left-hand side. The main front has a shallow, attached portico with a giant order of paired square and round columns supporting Corinthian capitals, which are modelled on those of the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli. The corners of the building are defined by short and long quoins, and the whole structure sits on a temple platform with steps leading up to the entrance. The ground floor features panelled double doors with a moulded architrave and flat hood resting on consoles. The outer bays of the ground floor have six-over-six sash windows with segmental heads within a moulded architrave, accented with a console key. The upper floor has three semicircular-headed windows with moulded architraves and console keys. A cornice band runs along the building, topped by a modillion cornice, and a central pediment is flanked by parapets. The parapets along the side walls have a frieze. Basement areas are fronted by dwarf walls with cast iron railings. The rear elevation incorporates a rose window flanked by tall sash windows with arched heads, while the side elevations feature three tall arched windows with console keystones.

The interior, inspected by Bath Council in 1980, includes a central stone staircase with a moulded bannister. A first-floor rear room once contained a Victorian fireplace and console. A west gallery has marble architraves, and houses a German Schindl organ. The east rose window contains a blue glazed roundel, surrounded by circles of red, yellow, and blue. The interior was largely reconstructed in approximately 1990 and is now used as office suites.
