1898 – Forest Lodge, Tulse Hill, London

“This house, the residence of Mr. G. Adney Payne, has been rented and much added to in a handsome way by Messrs. Wimperis and Arber, the architects. The plan has been remodelled. One of the chief improvements consists of a richly-designed library, of which we hope to give an illustration shortly. The bookcases and the fireplace are the chief features in the apartment, which is furnished in oak, with bronze fittings. The entrances to the carriage drive are formed by a fine pair of wrought-iron gates. The drawing illustrated by us to-day shows the porch and new facade. The house, as advertised elsewhere, will be offered for sale by auction on June 9, by Messrs. Stimson and Sons, of 8, Moorgate-street, E.C.” Published in The Building News, May 27th 1898.
