View of the first-floor landing of Cromwell House, 104 Highgate Hill, Highgate, featuring three of the four doorways on the floor. The photograph is taken from the room, facing the right-hand side doorway. It captures the eight-panel woodwork and the cleft pediment forming the doorhead on the doorcase. Bucket hangers are visible between two doorcases, although no buckets are present. Built for Richard Sprignell in 1638 by an unknown architect, this Grade I listed building, listing number 1079233, became home to Alvaro da Costa and his family from 1675 to 1749, making it the first Jewish-owned property in England since the expulsion of 1290. Used for institutional purposes since 1843, it operated as a convalescent home for Great Ormond Street Hospital from 1867 to 1924 before being converted into the Mothercraft/Truby King Children's Home, which remained in operation until 1951. Later, owned by Protestant and Catholic missionary orders, the building fell into disrepair by 1980 but was restored between 1983 and 1989. Today, it houses the High Commission of the Republic of Ghana and remains closed to the public.
