Allerton Golf Club House

Allerton Golf Club House is a ruined Neoclassical building located in Allerton, Liverpool, England. Completed in 1815 by the architect Jacob Fletcher,[1] the building was built on the site of a previous one which had been destroyed by a fire. This replacement building was occupied by the Fletcher family for 104 years before being purchased in 1923 by the Liverpool Corporation, who converted the mansion into a clubhouse for a newly built golf course. In 1944 another fire broke out, leaving the building in ruins.[2] On 14 March 1975 the ruins became a Grade II listed structure.[3]
