Title
Plaque at house in Dollis Avenue
Description
A view of part of the front elevation of a detached house at 11 Dollis Avenue, Finchley. The image shows a terracotta plaque entitled "Home and Work" on the wall at the first floor between windows with small leaded lights. The plaque, in arts and crafts style and dated 1904, is the work of sculptor Edwin Roscoe Mullins (1848-1907), who built the house for himself and where he lived in later life. It depicts two allegorical female figures, one protecting a child and the other with a mallet and chisel in her hands, the tools of a stone carver. The women's arms and hands are entwined. The bust of a woman, apparently the sculptor's work, stands at her feet. Mullins had a studio at the house and the plaque represents the unification of the two aspects of his life, home and work, in one place. The house and the plaque still exist.
