Calderstones House is a nineteenth century mansion in Calderstones Park, Liverpool, England, built in 1828 for the lead shot manufacturer Joseph Need Walker. Acquired in 1875 by Charles MacIver, co-founder of the Cunard Line, the house and estate were given to Liverpool Corporation in 1902 and turned into a public park; the Grade II listed mansion later served as council offices, and since a restoration completed in 2019 it has operated as The Reader's International Centre for Shared Reading, alongside the Neolithic Calder Stones that give the area its name.
