Full Description
Mill Hill House was a boxy stuccoed house originally of five by four bays and two storeys. The interior was compact with a shallow dog-leg staircase from the entrance hall into an apse, top lit with an elaborate mahogany rail supported by a cast iron balustrade. Designed by Richard Leaper for banker Thomas Ward Swinburne, originally was much larger and slowly was reduced in size and truncated throughout the 1900s. (1)
