The main building seen here was built in about 1830 and was occupied variously by doctors and corn merchants until 1930 when the then Swindon Corporation acquired it to be used as a museum, which it still is. Some time in the 1960s the rather unattractive annexe to the right was added with little thought, it seems to me, for the Georgian character of the main property. The annexe serves as an art gallery.
