With over 2,500 listed buildings in our city, the oldest known buildings in Liverpool are The Bluecoat built in 1717, Liverpool Town Hall built in 1754 but in third place is the lesser well known 62 Mount Pleasant.  

62 Mount Pleasant was originally built for merchant William Rice in 1767. This 2 storey brick house with stone dressings and slate roof, has 5 bays with sashed window with wedge lintels and triple keystones, and those to the 1st floor with glazing bars. It has a central round-headed entrance with open pediment on consoles. Cornice. Brick and stacks. Not only is it one of the oldest Liverpool buildings in the street but, as one of the oldest properties in the city, it offers exquisite Georgian architecture.

62 Mount Pleasant now serves as the Avesta Shisha Restaurant, Vooo Lounge.
