Halton House

Hace un instante

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Halton House. This is the 15th building for my English Collection and the second Rothchild house I recreated.

I decorated some interiors for reference, but I could not find the real distribution of the house, so I just worked with pictures I found.

You might be familiar to the central hall and stairs, as they are the ones used for Bridgerton House in the series.

I chose to build the version with the conservatory, as I think this was a glory lost to time.

History of the house: Halton House is a country house in the Chiltern Hills above the village of Halton in Buckinghamshire, England. It was built for Alfred Freiherr de Rothschild between 1880 and 1883. It is used as the main officers' mess for RAF Halton and is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England.

There has been a manor house at Halton since the Norman Conquest, when it belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Thomas Cranmer sold the manor to Henry Bradshaw, Solicitor-General in the mid-16th century. After remaining in the Bradshaw family for some considerable time, it was sold to Sir Francis Dashwood in 1720 and was then held in the Dashwood family for almost 150 years.

The site of the old Halton House, or Manor, was west of the church in Halton village. It had a large park, which was later bisected by the Grand Union Canal. In June 1849 Sir George Dashwood auctioned the contents and, in 1853, the estate was sold to Lionel Freiherr de Rothschild.

Lionel then left the estate to his son Alfred Freiherr de Rothschild in 1879. At this time the estate covered an approximately 1,500-acre (610-hectare) triangle between Wendover, Aston Clinton, and Weston Turville.

It is thought the architect was William R. Rodriguez (also known as Rogers), who worked in the design team of William Cubitt and Company, the firm commissioned to build and oversee the project in 1880. Just three years later the house was finished.

The house was widely criticised by members of the establishment. The architect Eustace Balfour, a nephew of the Marquess of Salisbury, described it as a "combination of French Chateau and gambling house", and one of Gladstone's private secretaries called it an "exaggerated nightmare".

At Halton all were entertained by Alfred Freiherr de Rothschild. However, Halton's glittering life lasted less than thirty years, with the last party being in 1914 at the outbreak of World War I. Devastated by the carnage of the war, Freiherr de Rothschild's health began to fail and he died in 1918. Alfred had no legitimate children, so the house was bequeathed to his nephew Lionel Nathan de Rothschild. He detested the place and sold the contents at auction in 1918. The house and by now diminished estate were purchased for the Royal Air Force by the Air Ministry for what was even then a low price of £115,000 (equivalent to £7.08 million in 2023 pounds).

Architecture

For the style of the house Alfred was probably influenced by that of plans for the nearly completed Waddesdon Manor, the home of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, his brother-in law. While not so large there is a resemblance, but other continental influences appear to have crept in: classical pediments jut from mansard roofs, spires and gables jostle for attention, and the whole is surmounted by a cupola. The front of the house features a porte-cochère. A Rothschild cousin described it as: "looking like a giant wedding cake".

If the outside was extravagant, the interior was no anti-climax. The central hall (not unlike the galleried two-storey hall at Mentmore Towers) was furnished as the "grand salon". Two further drawing rooms (the east and west) continued the luxurious theme. The dining and billiards rooms too were furnished with 18th-century panelling and boiseries. The theme continued up the grand, plaster panelled staircase to the bedrooms. The whole was furnished in what became known as "Le Style Rothschild", that is, 18th-century French furniture, boulle, ebony, and ormolu, complemented by Old Masters and fine porcelain.

A huge domed conservatory known as the winter garden was attached to the house.

This house fits a 64x64  lot (You can fit the main building to the 50x50 or 50x40 lot if you lose the garden and conservatory)

I furnished just the principal rooms, so you get an idea. The rest is unfurnished so you create the interiors to your taste!

Hope you like it.

For her school project, Sunday decided to look at the different styles of architecture in Evergreen Harbor.

I'm still undecided on which skills she will focus on for her generation but first up: photography 📷

Pov: you’re a Beaux-Bâtons witch

This is your school

This is your common room

This is your bedroom

This is your bathroom

This is your Hogsmead

No wonder why the Beaux-Bâton witches were so depressed in Hogwarts 🥹🩵

"Steel House," 85 E Canyonview Dr, Ransom Canyon, Texas,

Robert Bruno's House,

Mr Bruno lived in the structure while he welded it almost completely on his own. He started construction in 1974, a year after he began sketching plans for the structure — and remained there, welding and working, until his death in 2008.

The project remains an unfinished home, with bare walls that should have held elaborate artwork and hollow legs that should have held and aquarium and library.

Read 28/25 of 2024: Currently reading this, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable and insightful experience! It delves into the Ottoman culture not only in terms of what it was characteristic for within the empire during its times, but also what traces it left both in present-day Turkish culture and that of its former provinces. Thus, it presents the specifics of their culture in broader terms and also provides glimpses into a day-to-day life of the Ottomans. Highly recommend this if you want to learn a bit more about the history of the Ottoman Empire.

Escomb Church: Sims 4 Reconstruction

I love historical architecture. I love The Sims. I'm also a nerd. If you put everything together you will get my semi-new obsession in recreating historical houses and house plans on The Sims 4.

Download here or look for "Escombe Church" or "TeaWithTash" in the Gallery. I have a few more buildings and I've been planning on posting videos of speed building. What do you think?

Mostly, I have done Regency and 18th Century French houses, but I have been playing my historical save, I started looking for older houses and churches to recreate.

Escombe Church is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon churches in England and was build in the 7th century (yep not 17th... seventh!) and is still functional until this day. It initially built for the Catholic Church, it now belongs to the Church of England.
