Counts House Doric temple, River Wear Banks, Durham City (Durham City)
Count's House is a summer house, built about 1810 from sandstone. It resembles a small Greek temple. It got its name because it was mistaken for a house now demolished, which was lived in by 'Count' Boruwlaski, a Polish dwarf, at the end of the C18, in the grounds of No. 12 South Bailey.
