EDITORS COMMENTS
Cragside House, situated in the picturesque village of Rothbury, Northumberland, England, stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the Edwardian and Victorian eras. This stunning image, captured in August 1906, showcases the impressive architecture of the building, which was originally designed and built by Lord Armstrong between 1863 and 1885. The house, nestled among the rolling hills and lush greenery of the North, exudes an air of opulence and sophistication, with its intricate stonework, towering chimneys, and expansive windows. The image, published in a popular magazine in 1906, invites us to step back in time and imagine the lives of the wealthy and influential families who once called Cragside House their home. The grandeur of the building is further emphasized by the large, ornate throne-like chair placed in the foreground, which adds a sense of regality and importance to the scene. Cragside House was not only a symbol of wealth and status, but also a pioneer in the use of hydroelectric power, making it one of the first houses in the world to be lit entirely by electricity generated on its own estate. This innovative feature, combined with its stunning architecture and beautiful setting, makes Cragside House a must-see destination for history and architecture enthusiasts alike.
