The Joestar Mansion (ジョースター邸, Jōsutā-tei) is the residence of the eponymous Joestar Family and Dio Brando during the events of Phantom Blood.
The mansion had been the residence of British aristocrats for generations, but is burned down as a consequence of the fight between Jonathan Joestar and Dio.
It is located at 225 Baker Street East in the manga,[1] and 221B Baker Street East in the anime.[2]
The Joestar Mansion is a three-story building made out of bricks in typical Victorian fashion, resembling manors in the Queen Anne style of architecture. It is flanked by two lesser buildings of unknown use. The residence is surrounded by a brick wall. The main entrance is led up to by parallel sets of stairs. The doors open to a great hall with a recognizable chessboard-pattern tiling from which one set of stairs leads to the upper levels. The rooms include a bedroom for each resident, a dining room and a library.
The mansion is luxuriously decorated with carpets and sets of weapons and suits of armor. Its most distinctive decoration is a Statue of the Goddess of Love in the main hall, which served to impale Dio and imprison him in the burning mansion. The anime added a fountain to the exterior. An incinerator is situated in the back of the mansion, which was notoriously exploited by Dio to kill Jonathan's dog, Danny.
After Dio rejects his humanity, Jonathan sets fire to the Joestar Mansion, burning it to the ground in the hopes that it would kill the vampire.
In the anime adaptation, it is shown that George Joestar II, Elizabeth Joestar and their baby Joseph used to live in a mansion which is quite similar to the Joestar Mansion.
The Joestar Mansion appears in the novel JORGE JOESTAR. Lisa Lisa briefly visits the ruins of the mansion. When Erina Joestar, George and Penelope de la Rosa move to England, Erina has the mansion rebuilt with the help of Robert E. O. Speedwagon and the three all go live there. The novel adds that the mansion's town is named "Wastewood".
In 1920, George Joestar and Elizabeth "Lisa Lisa" Straizo get married and the wedding is organized at the mansion. When Penelope creates a "locked room" over England, the mansion becomes a refuge for Erina, Lisa Lisa, Joseph and Penelope, with Penelope's Wound protecting the building from zombies.
Joestar Mansion appears in chapters 3, 4, 6 & 7 in Phantom Blood PS2 game's Story Mode containing Jonathan's revenge on Dio for kissing Erina, discovery of Dario's letter, Dio's transformation into a Vampire and the mansion burning down.
