Title:

St. Peter's Home, Kilburn: Mortimer Road elevation for the proposed additions

Date:

September 1878

Description:

- This drawing is part of a group of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, from the office of John Loughborough Pearson, composed of nine orthographic contract drawings dated 1867-1868 (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:009) and one elevation for an addition in 1878 (DR1989:0015:010). These drawings were sold at auction by St. Peter's Convent, Woking, along with drawings for that institution (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:089 R/V). Both institutions were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and the lay nursing order which ran it. Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882, and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255 and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
