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

Nineteenth-century English House

from Cornell University Library

  • Hans-Bernd Abel said:
    No. 3, Norham Gardens, named "Garford House". Grade II listed. Built in 1866/67, architect: Charles Buckeridge. This photograph shows the house just like it was originally built. Later, in the 1890s it was heavily extended (by about 50%) to the west (right), the entrance was moved to the street side and a large porch was added. The conservatory seen here was demolished, a new one being built at the houses' southeast side. Photographs from the 1960s show a second entrance door, vanished again in the 2000s, thus this house would have had been temporarily subdivided into multiple flats. That's why the brickwork of the front fassade looks a bit cobbled together today. Offered for sale at £ 5.5m in 2017, finally sold in 2022 to Atlantic Institute who refurbished the house as an 8-bedroom fellows residence and named it "Kopanong". The house in the background on the left is No. 5 Norham Gardens (by W. WIlkinson, 1865) which, although later divided into 4 flats, has retained its original character since 150 years. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - Historic England Archive, Red Box Collection
