Nineteenth-century House

from Cornell University Library

    No. 33 Banbury Road, North Oxford. Built in 1865-67, architect: Charles Edward Bruton. One more photograph of "Springfield", made a few years earlier than the other image in this collection. The house in the background on the right would be No. 3 Bevington Road, leased in 1868, which was later aquired by St. Anne's in 1953. Houses No. 1 and 2 (leased in 1869) are not built yet, thus we could assume this photograph to be taken around 1868, not long after Springfield itself was completed. The household staff of Springfield seems to be quite interested into what's happening outside. If you look at the basement on the right side (which is likely to be the kitchen) you can see the housekeeper standing there and keeping an eye on the scene.

Nineteenth-century English House

from Cornell University Library

  • Hans-Bernd Abel said:
    No. 113 Woodstock Road, North Oxford, seen from southeast. Built in 1863 by W. Wilkinson for wine merchant Edwin Butler. Named "Newton Lodge", this house was located opposite St. Philip & St. James Church. One of the houses which were demolished in the late 1960s to make way for the 'Butlers' Close' apartment building. Illustrated (in the same perspective) on plates IX and X of Mr. Wilkinsons's book 'English Country Houses'. Stylistically similar to No. 31 Banbury Road by Wilkinson, i.e. it shares the same elements (e.g. bay windows, tower) using a different layout. The bay window on the left is that of the dining room, next to the drawing room behind. The kitchen is (typical for WIlkinson) not in the basement but on ground level (on the right side). Four bedrooms on the first floor, with a dressing room in the "tower" above the entrance door. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - Internet Archive (archive.org) for 'English Country Houses' - Picture Oxon, photographs by P. S. Spokes and R. F. Wills
