Title
Verbruggen's House at Royal Arsenal
Description
Front south-west elevation of Verbruggen's House, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. Street signs for number 2 Street and H Avenue, part of the Royal Arsenal's street system, are visible. Built in 1772-73 for Jan and Pieter Verbruggen, who were in charge of the Royal Brass Foundry, and who were unhappy with the existing state and size of the previous founders house. The building was later used by the Inspector of the Royal Military Academy, and his successors to 1829, then subsequently by Gen. Sir William Cator, the only Director-General of Artillery, in 1855-59, before it was converted to use as offices and a Board Room for the Ordnance Select Committee. The surrounding extension visible in the photograph has since been demolished and the original house has now been readapted for office use.
