  • Hans-Bernd Abel said:
    No. 115 Woodstock Road, North Oxford, seen from the east. Built in 1869, architect unknown. Named "Burnham House". Among the residents of No. 115 were Robert Buckell, Mayor of Oxford 1885-1918, and Percy Elford, Fellow of St. John's College and Chief Education Officer. Together with no. 117 (partially visible on the right), the house became the main building of St Faith's school in 1919 for more than fourty years. Demolished ca. 1969 to make way for the "Butler Close" apartment buildings. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ.

Nineteenth-century English House

from Cornell University Library

  • Hans-Bernd Abel said:
    No. 60 Banbury Road, North Oxford, viewed from south west. Named "Shrublands", built in 1866 by W. Wilkinson who described this house in his book "English Country Houses" (plates XI & XII). In the 1960s, no. 60 was one of those houses threatened by plans for a new building of Pitt-Rivers Museum, which, eventually, could not be realized due to lack of funds. Since 2006, this building forms the site of Kellogg College, together with No. 62 (partly visible on the left), No. 64, the strange Balfour Building in the backyard and some other modern additions. Today it's named "Geoffrey Thomas House", after the colleges first president, and houses the college library and some office and meeting rooms. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - E. O. Dodgson: Notes on Nos. 56, 58, 60, 62 and 64 Banbury Road (Oxoniensia) - Historic England, Architectural Red Box Collection, "Oxford, Oxon" - Internet Archive (archive.org) for "English Country Houses" - Brochure "A short history of Kellogg College", found at kellogg.ox.ac.uk
