Known locally as the Red House, this Registered Building on The Parade was entered on the Island's Protected Buildings Register in 1984. One local history account of Castletown notes that a house at this position on The Parade served at one time as Sir James Gell's and the High Bailiff's Office; Gell held a long Manx public career including High Bailiff, Attorney General and First Deemster, though the exact continuity of use at this address cannot be independently confirmed.
