Title
Athlone House (Caen Wood Towers) in Hampstead Lane
Description
View of the surroundings of Athlone House, formerly Caen Wood Towers, on Hampstead Lane, Highgate, at the northern edge of Hampstead Heath. Iron railings separate the pavement and a light post from the trees and bushes behind the fence. Athlone House was designed by Edward Salomons and John Philpot and built by Edward Brooke in 1872. Over the years, it was home to several industrialists until it was acquired by the Royal Air Force in 1942. 1951, the building was sold to the Ministry of Health and served as a hospital until 2003. It remained derelict until Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman acquired it in 2016, and it has since been restored and used as a modern family home.
