Légende

University Hall, Gordon-Square, [London], 1850. 'This edifice...is intended for the reception of young men who are studying in different professions, as law, medicine, the belles lettres, &c...It is already tenanted...by a Principal and Vice-Principal, and a moderate number of students of University College. To University College, through its Gothic back-door...students, as in old days, issue book in hand to professorial classes...[The] exterior...is of the latest period of our Collegiate Gothic architecture...and is a very happy adaptation of the leading features of the style to one of the greatest puzzles in architecture of our day, namely, the grouping of uniform windows in numerous stories. [It was] designed by Professor Donaldson, and executed by Mr. John Jay...[and has] two houses intended to appear as wings...one of which is intended for the dwelling of the Principal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
