Upper Terrace House

The NHLE listing describes Hill's remodelling of the facade of the house as demonstrating "how thin was the divide between stripped classicism and full-blown modernism in his work at this time, despite Vogue Regency detailing and the importation of genuine C18 elements to the interior".

[1] The house was the subject of the main article in the 4 June 1932 issue of Country Life, which included extensive photographs of the interior and exterior.

[3] The art historian and administrator Kenneth Clark and his family moved to the house in 1946 having previously lived at nearby Capo Di Monte on Judge's Walk.

[6] The sculptor Henry Moore displayed his maquettes for his Madonna & Child at St Matthew's Church, Northampton on the mantelpiece of Upper Terrace House to Clark and Herbert Read so they could give their opinion on his progress towards the finished piece.
