EDITORS COMMENTS
This architectural drawing represents the proposed exterior design for a new dining hall and administrative block at Wellington College in Berkshire, circa 1906. The intricate details of the drawing reveal the grandeur and sophistication of the planned addition to the esteemed educational institution. Wellington College, founded in 1859, has a rich history and tradition of excellence in education. By the early 20th century, the need for a larger dining hall and administrative block became apparent. This drawing, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1906, showcases the proposed solution to meet the growing needs of the college. The design features a harmonious blend of Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts architectural styles, with ornate detailing and intricate stonework. The new dining hall and administrative block are intended to complement the existing architecture of the college, while providing modern facilities for students and staff. Ultimately, the building was opened by King Edward VII in 1907. The monarch's presence added an air of prestige and significance to the occasion, further solidifying Wellington College's reputation as a premier educational institution. This architectural drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the planning and design process that led to this impressive addition to the college's campus.
