Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Introductory Lectures Delivered at the Opening of the College: October 1851 1. The Building. - The College is situated half a mile North of the Regents Park, in the Finchley Road, St. John´s Wood, and stands on the Southwestern slope of the Hampstead Hill. It is designed in the Tudor style of the fifteenth century, the walls throughout being faced with Bath stone. The West front is 240 feet in length, 38 feet high to the parapet, and 44 feet to the ridge, and, in the centre, a massive Tower, 25 feet square, rises to a height of 103 feet above the road. At the Northern end of the building is the Residence of the Principal; in the centre, the College Proper; and, at the South end, the Library. The principal front faces the West; the entrance is in the centre under the tower, and above it is a very elegant oriel window in two stories, filled with tracery and delicately carved. The base mouldings are heavy, and the cornice bold, and enriched throughout with carved paterse and gurgoyles, natural and grotesque. The East elevation, though simpler, is designed in perfect consistency with the character of the principal front.
