Tower House

Pittville Circus was not part of Pitt’s original estate but was designed and built by Edward Cope between 1850-70. By this time Italianate styling was becoming popular due to the design of Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s home on the Isle of Wight. Tower House was the first property on Pittville Circus and was completed in 1840. It combines numerous popular features of the times – Adams style decorative stucco mouldings over the front entrance, Italianate mouldings over the windows and an eccentric tower with Gothic battlements.
