Colour view of the frontage of Lotherton Hall seen from the formal gardens. Lotherton Hall was the residence of the Gascoigne family before Leeds City Council acquired the house and estate in 1968. On the left is the large 1903 extension which housed the drawing room and grand entrance hall, built for Colonel and Mrs. Gascoigne. To the right the small projection is that of the Morning Room or Boudoir of 1828, designed for Richard Oliver Gascoigne. Set back slightly with two tall ground floor windows is Colonel Gascoigne's Medal Room which displayed his collection of military books and medals. Next, is the library of 1896 and the right-hand projecton is the New Dining Room of 1908 which was completed in 1931. The gardens were created by Colonel Gascoigne's wife Mrs. Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne in the Edwardian era. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Hall Gascoigne | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
