Nineteenth-century House

from Cornell University Library

  • Hans-Bernd Abel said:
    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.

    Thank you for contributing to the Creative Commons. I have used this picture in my collage, Snippy In Antiquity.

    Libraries don't usually have a sense of humour; perhaps the people behind the name do.
