1898 – Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford

Architect: Arthur Blomfield Jackson

0104

Now known as Queen Elizabeth House. Originally known as Holywell House, this Elizabethan-style gabled stone building (1898, Blomfield Jackson) was a private house built for the Revd John Henry Mee, the University’s choral director. The School of Geography took over the property in 1921 and added an extension to the north in 1969. A further three storey extension to the east along Jowett Walk in 2007 provided additional research and teaching space for Queen Elizabeth House.
