Ruskin Park House, Champion Hill, Camberwell
Image: © Jim Osley Taken: 22 Feb 2017
Built between 1936 and 1954 to the designs of architect Alexander Stuart Gray of Watkins Gray Architects. More on the block at this http://c20society.org.uk/botm/ruskin-park-house-london/. Following his retirement from a very successful practice A.S. Gray devoted his retirement years to compiling his "Edwardian Architecture : a Biographical Dictionary" (London : Duckworth, 1985). He spent much of time in the Library of the Royal Institute of British Architects, where this contributor met him and sought out research materials for him. A.S. Gray died in 1989. One of the entries in his dictionary is for the architect John Belcher who designed a house for himself ("Redholm" Image]), on a site opposite to where Ruskin Park House stands.
