16 Little Park Street (also known as Kirby House) is a Georgian townhouse (Grade II* listed)[1] in central Coventry, West Midlands, England. It is one of two remaining Georgian buildings on the street and three in the city centre (the other two being 7 Little Park Street and 11 Priory Row). The name Kirby House comes from who bought it in 1874.[2]
As of 2021, the building is occupied by the Citizens Advice Bureau.[3]
History[]
The front of the house dates back to around 1735, but the façade may have been taken from an earlier building.[4]
The building received slight damage during the Coventry Blitz.[5] The interior was completely restored from 1980–1982.[2]
