This photo shows the House which was built by Alfred de Rothschild of the famous banking family in the early 1880s, principally to entertain Victorian high society in the most lavish style imaginable. It was part of the Halton Estate which in 1919 became Royal Air Force Halton and this Mansion became the Officers' Mess, known since as Halton House. On the left of the photo can be seen the West Wing which replaced the derelict Winter Garden. This Wing is now used as accommodation for living-in officers.
