Booth Mansion is a former town house at 28–34 Watergate Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It contains a portion of the Chester Rows, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is included in the English Heritage Archive. Its frontage was built in 1700 in Georgian style but much medieval material remains behind it. ==History==
In 1700 George Booth rebuilt two medieval houses as his town house. He built a frontage in Georgian style, but behind this much of the medieval fabric was retained. The frontage was angled into the street so that the house could be seen better from Chester Cross; however as a result of this he was fined £10 for encroaching into the street.〔 In the 1740s and 1750s the building was used as the assembly rooms for the town's social functions. Subsequently it has been used as an auction gallery〔 and, as of 2010, houses a firm of solicitors. In Spring 2015, an art gallery opened here.
