Framed Print of The officers quarters, new Barracks at Knightsbridge, 1880. Creator: Unknown
The officers quarters, new Barracks at Knightsbridge, [London], 1880. The buildings for the Household Cavalry which have been constructed on the site of the old barracks at Knightsbridge were occupied last week by the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), under Colonel Owen Williams...The building was superintended by Colonel E. C. Gordon, R.E. The designs were furnished by Mr. T. H. Wyatt, architect, and the contractor was Mr. G. Shaw. The style followed is an adaptation of the Italian, and viewed from Rotten-row the effect is very imposing...Besides the introduction of the most approved sanitary appliances, it is evident that the health and comfort both of man and horse have been studied to the utmost, the rooms and stables being large, well lighted, and ventilated...The principal feature of the officers quarters is the mess-room, the frontage of which is to the Exhibition ground in Hyde Park - a handsome apartment, 36 ft. long by 24 ft. wide. Over the principal window are busts of former commanders, including Wellington, Marlborough, Anglesea, Combermere, Oxford, Raglan, and Hill; and the principal entrance to the barracks, also facing Hyde Park, contains representations in stone of troopers of the past and the present times'.
