This solid Richardsonian building, of which only a fragment / remains, was designed just as the architects' conversion to academic Ren- / aissance style was taking place. Like the Wm. G. Low house in Bristol of a / year or two later it has the poignancy distinction of a cause already lost. / BIBLIOGRAPHY: / NOTES:
