50 Glebe Place, Chelsea (1880-85). Architect: John Lowe. Left: Perspective view. Right: One of the windows with its metalwork and ivy-covered wall. (Cherry and Pevsner give the dates of this eccentric building as 1980-85, but this must be a misprint.) [Click on this image and those below to enlarge them.]

Left: Front elevation. Right: Window in the tower.

Sculpture on and around the house. Left two: Terracotta statue of a kneeling girl on a pillar, which has the same pattern of raised leaves as the building. Middle right: One of the six standing statues on the roof of the building. Right: Bas relief frame inside left of the doorway.

Photographs, text, and formatting George P. Landow. You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the photographer and (2) link your document to this URL in a web document or cite the Victorian Web in a print one.]
