The estate...was formerly in the possession of Sir Godfrey Kneller, the celebrated State painter...The building has been erected from the designs...of Mr. George Mair, architect...and the effect of the front is very satisfactory. The cornices, parapets, quoins, dressings to the windows, and other enrichments...are executed in Bath stone...a steam-engine of 3-horse power (erected by Messrs. Easton and Amos) is provided for pumping the water to supply the several tanks and cisterns required for the establishment; and steam power is applied to work the machinery for washing, and in the laundry department; also for cooking, and heating water for the baths, &c. The mangle is turned by steam...The building is lighted by gas, supplied through a main laid down from Twickenham by the Brentford Gaslight Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
