Female Training College, Cheltenham, 1870. 'The new building of the Female Training College at Cheltenham occupies the site formerly known as the Old Farm. It is of brick, with bands of black Broseley, and with Bath stone dressings to the doors and windows, having a substantial and cheerful aspect. The porch has polished red granite shafts and carved capitals. In this building accommodation is furnished for sixty-four students, with a resident staff of professors. The dormitories are divided off into cubicles. The studies, class-rooms, and dining-room are lofty, well lighted and ventilated, and the building is admirably adapted for its purpose. The cost of the whole building, including the apparatus for heating and gas, the fence walls, and the garden, has been about £5500; but this does not include the cost of site. Messrs. Broome and Son are the builders; and Mr. J. Thomas Darby, of Cheltenham, is the architect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
