Eastgate House is a Grade I listed building located in Rochester, Kent, England. It was originally built in the late 16th century as a townhouse for Sir Peter Buck, a wealthy merchant and Mayor of Rochester. It has since been used for various purposes, including as a school and a museum.
The building is known for its notable architectural features, including a Tudor-style timber-framed exterior, intricately carved wooden sculptures, and a grand oak staircase. It also contains many historical artifacts and exhibits, including an interactive exhibit on the life and work of Charles Dickens, who lived in Rochester and used Eastgate House as inspiration for his novel "The Pickwick Papers."
Today, the building is owned and managed by Medway Council, and is a popular visitor attraction in Rochester. It is open to the public for tours and events, and hosts a variety of exhibitions and community activities throughout the year.
