1899 – The Surbiton Club, Surbiton, Surrey
“This building has recently been completed from plans prepared by and under the superintendence of Messrs. Carter and Ashworth, A.R.I.B.A., of 55, Clarence-street, Kingston-on-Thames, whose design was selected by the committee of the club in a limited competition. The plans given herewith sufficiently indicate the general arrangement. Lawrence’s “T. L. B.” bricks have been used for the facings, and Monk’s Park stone for the windows and dressings, and the roofs are covered with Broseley tiles. All the stone windows have been fitted with iron casements. All the principal rooms are ventilated by Tobin inlets and extraction flues carried up in the chimney stacks. For the billiard-room two induced current ventilators with automatic valve boxes have been employed in connection with Tobin tubes. The works have been efficiently carried out by Sir. F. Hawkey, of Brighton-road, Surbiton, at a total cost of £3,105.”
