The former home of the Cadbury family in Birmingham has been destroyed in an arson attack, the fire service said.
At its height up to 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze at Northfield Manor House from about 20:00 BST on Wednesday.
Flames and smoke could be seen from the Lickey Hills, about three miles (5km) away. Nobody was injured.
The Grade II listed building, which is owned by the University of Birmingham, has been empty for seven years.
Twenty fire engines, specialist hydraulic platforms and a high-volume water pump were sent to the four-storey brick building.
Chief fire officer Phil Loach said it had taken about an hour to bring under control.
"There are signs of forced entry, the main part of the building has been severely damaged and the flames have spread through the roof," he said.
"The building is in an unsafe condition, there are a number of large chimney stacks which are also unstable."
