Habershon and Fawckner

They had had offices in London, Cardiff and Newport, designing a large number of houses, villas and non-conformist chapels.

William Gilbee Habershon (c.1818–1891) began practising in St Neots, Huntingdonshire in 1843, in partnership with his brother Edward.

James Follet Fawckner (c.1828–1898) became a partner (though he was not a registered architect) in 1870[3] – he had been part of the Habershon company since 1857.

[9] Cardiff's working class residential area of Splott was laid out by Habershon & Fawckner[10] between 1875 and 1899, with the firm basing themselves at the Tredegar Estate offices on Pearl Street.

The mansion included Roccoco detailing and an unusual double front entrance in case the house needed to be divided at a future date.
