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

Odd that it's standing there on its own...but intriguing!

No. 54, Banbury Road, North Oxford. "Laleham", today known as Wycliffe Hall, seen from west. Built in 1866, architect: J. Gibbs, grade II listed. This house was built for Thomas Arnold the Younger and his family, who offered tutorials there, including accomodation for his pupils at Laleham. See also the south east view of the same building in this album. The impressive entrance gate is no more directly visible today, since a dining hall (now used as a lecture room) was built in front of the fassade. The modest doorway at the north (left) side would probably lead to the student rooms. The building in the background on the right is No. 1 Norham Gardens, with its characteristic chimney in white framework. The house in the background on the left would probably be (todays) No. 4 Bradmore Road. It's still scaffolded, thus, considering the lease dates, this photograph should have been taken between 1870 and 1872. On closer inspection, people can be found in some photographs of this collection, who are watching the scenery from inside. In this picture, someone (perhaps a member of the household staff) is looking out of the basement window left of the entrance. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ.
