University House, University of Birmingham

It is located in grounds in the conservation area of Edgbaston, Birmingham,[1] and is a grade II listed building.

[2] The name 'University House' was originally given to a rented building on Hagley Road in 1904.

The present building was constructed in 1908 as a residence for female students at the university.

Margery Fry was UH's first warden, from its beginnings at Hagley Road, and remained in post until 1914.

[3][4] Rose Sidgwick, lecturer in History at the university, managed the UH library and was commemorated after her death in the 1918 flu pandemic by an ornamental birdbath in the gardens.
