Many alterations were made to both the exterior and the interior of the original Queen Anne style house by Lutyens, increasing the size of this building by two-thirds and yet retaining the style of the original building. The alterations included combining two ground floor rooms on the south side to create this larger entrance hall. The photograph was commissioned by Sir Edwin Lutyens himself. The building is now in use as part of Princess Helena's College for Girls.
