Abstract: |
In March 2011 historic building recording was undertaken of The Bungalow, Rosary Priory, Bushey, Hertfordshire in order to inform proposals for the future development of the site following a fire. The Bungalow comprises two prefabricated structures interlinked by additional light timber framed extensions. The entire building is clad in corrugated metal and stands on brick piers. The southern building (Building 1) was first erected between 1875 and 1898 within the grounds of Caldecote Towers, initially a private house that became a girls' school in 1891. It was initially a simple square structure with its porch facing north rather than south as it does today. By 1914 Building 2 had been constructed, as had all the other rooms. In structural form and architectural style The Bungalow matched the other purpose built school building. In 1926 when Caldecote Towers was sold to the Dominican Sisters The Bungalow was described as having nine rooms and two bathrooms and being centrally heated. In the early 20th century it was used as a sanatorium but in the last years before the school closed in 1987 The Bungalow housed the art department. |
