Title
Interior of a house in The Terrace
Description
The Terrace, which runs alongside the Thames in Barnes in the Barnes Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames, has several eighteenth and nineteenth-century houses of exceptional quality. This view is believed to show an upper floor room to the rear of 4 The Terrace, which in recent memory was Wilson's wool and haberdashery shop, since converted to residential use. Extended to the rear in the 1970s, it was listed locally as a Building of Townscape Merit in 1983. Building work was taking place at the time of the photograph and scaffolding can be seen through the window, which overlooks a brick-walled garden area. The walls and corner chimney breast are timber panelled in a traditional style incorporating a marble fire surround, the fireplace being blocked in with temporary plastic material. A small desk with a single array of shallow drawers has some neatly arranged workbooks and an old black telephone handset with a metal dial. A temporary builder's work lamp is clamped to the window frame above the desk. An old electric fire stands free on the floor, facing towards the desk. Some rolls of damp course sheeting stand unopened in the corner. A stacking set of drawers resembling a map chest has removed metal curtain poles left on top, which have ornate finials.
