It's quite grand. We've seen Brunel House from the other side of the road before. It's student accommodation, as is about every other building around here.
One thing I found out later1: This grand frontage was originally built for Brunel as the Great Western Hotel, but later became Bartholomew's Turkish Baths, at a time when Turkish baths were becoming increasingly popular in Britain.
1 By a very odd coincidence, I was reading _The Rosicrucian Seer_, letters of British occultist [Frederick Hockley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Hockley), in one of the fascinating _Roots of the Golden Dawn_ series of books, and came across this paragraph, which made me wonder where the baths had been, and it was only after that that I realised I'd already taken a photo of them!
On the 8th July next I anticipate having my visit to Northumberland on business-for 3 weeks-an entire relaxa- tion in a bracing atmosphere-after that if I take my holidays at all, ofwhich I am rather doubtful, I shall stay at the Baths on the Green opposite the Cathedral-Bristol-and then I shall be able to have an occasional gossip with you.
