Melrose Hall, 1862. Creator: Unknown

Melrose Hall, [Putney], 1862. This mansion, which has been the residence for a short time of our illustrious visitor the Viceroy of Egypt, is situated at the top of Putney-hill, near the Heath, and within a mile of the village. It was erected about ninety years since by Daniel Rucker, Esq. one of our wealthy merchant princes, the head of a family still resident in the neighbourhood and widely respected. The hospitalities exercised by Mr. Rucker and his family are still in the recollection of many. Upon the death of Mr. Rucker the hall became the property of the late Duke of Sutherland, and under the tasteful direction of the Duchess its beauties were increased and its fame more widely extended by her Grace's delightful receptions of the nobility and of distinguished foreigners, among whom were many of the crowned heads of Europe. The house and park are now the property of John Beaumont, Esq. of the Wimbledon Park House. The palatial character of the building, its commanding position, and the beauty of the surrounding scenery, covered with noble oaks of the richest foliage, have long rendered it one of the most charming of our country houses'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
Melrose Hall, Putney: A Victorian Masterpiece (1862) This image showcases Melrose Hall, a grand Victorian mansion nestled atop Putney-hill in London. The exact creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it was published in the Illustrated London News in 1862. Melrose Hall, with its palatial character and commanding position, has long been renowned as one of the most charming country houses in England. Erected approximately ninety years prior to this photograph, Melrose Hall was initially the residence of Daniel Rucker, a wealthy merchant prince and respected local figure. Known for their warm hospitalities, the Rucker family welcomed many distinguished guests, leaving lasting impressions on the community. Following Daniel Rucker's demise, Melrose Hall passed into the hands of the late Duke of Sutherland. Under the Duchess's tasteful direction, the property underwent enhancements, further increasing its allure and extending its fame. The Duchess's elegant receptions attracted numerous nobles and foreign dignitaries, including several European monarchs. Currently, Melrose Hall is the property of John Beaumont, Esq., of Wimbledon Park House. The mansion's exquisite architecture, its desirable location, and the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding park, adorned with majestic oaks, continue to make it an enduring symbol of Victorian elegance and refinement.
