Nineteenth-century English House

    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

    North Lodge of the University Parks, North Oxford, viewed from south. Built in 1862 by H. Wilkinson Moore. Grade II listed. Located at the northern gate of University Parks, where Banbury Road, Norham Gardens and Parks Road meet. This would have been a nice starting point for a walkabout to most of the North Oxford buildings shown in the collection of A. D. White Architectural Photographs. To the right, it's just a few steps to Wycliffe Hall at No. 54 Banbury Road, formerly named Laleham, photographed in this album from the west and southeast. Further northwards on Banbury Road, William Wilkinson built No. 60, "Shrublands", now part of Kellogg College. Even further to the right is Norham Gardens, with large residential villas, many of them later converted for accommodation or for institutional use, including No. 3 Norham Gardens shown in this album. Straight across the street were No. 31 Banbury Road, "The Firs" and the impressive "Springfield" villa at No. 33, both of them cornerstones of the site of St. Anne's College, today you find two mid-century student residences there instead. Nearby Bevington Road would pass you to some beautiful villas on Woodstock Road, but unfortunately, neither Nos. 113 and 115 nor the Italianate Walton Manor House at No. 141 survived the redevelopment era of the 1960s. Turn to the left from here and follow University Walk in south direction towards Keble College. On this section of Parks Road, there was a line of impressive Victorian houses at that time, including Nos. 17-18 (South & North Elms), now displaced by the brutalistic Holder building. But Nos. 12-13 (South & North Grove) and 14-15 (East View) still provide a glimpse of that era. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - A.
