School for daughters of officers of the Army, Lansdowne College, Bath, 1864. Creator: Unknown
School for daughters of officers of the [British] Army, Lansdowne College, Bath, 1864. 'We have engraved a View of Lansdowne College, Bath, recently purchased for the accommodation of the School for Daughters of Officers in the Army, whose claims were advocated at a public meeting in Willis's Rooms, the Duke of Cambridge presiding, on the 7th of April last. Generals Sir William Gomm, Sir R. Dacres, Sir R. Airey, and Sir Edward Cust, the Rev. the Chaplain- General, and others, took part in the proceedings on that occasion. His Royal Highness then stated that the committee had already begun its work, and that a building had been obtained in the neighbourhood of Bath. A small sum would be needed to render it serviceable for the purposes intended, and an income of £2000 or £3000 a year would, for the present, be sufficient to set it going. We may add that the edifice here represented is that which was formerly known as the Lansdowne Training College. This building, which originally cost £14,000, was bought by the committee for less than a quarter of that sum, and can, at an outlay of about £5000, be rendered serviceable for the accommodation of about 120 inmates. It has eight acres of ground attached to it, and its situation is healthy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
