Initially called The Uplands it was built for Henry Slack Rainforth and has a datestone for 1883. Architect/builder was W Penney and notes on the planning said the outlet for Drainage was to be reconsidered. Rainforth designed and added an ingle nook in 1906 and in 1909 'out offices and additions'. In 1912 a 'motor house' was added, architect M A Hall. Bromhead Nursing Home purchased it in 1926 and it is now (2022) Dormer House, physiotherapy and audiology departments of Circle Health Group's 'The Lincoln Hospital'. An archaeological watching brief took place in 2005, in an attempt to locate the line of the Roman Lincoln Aqueduct. All that was found were modern deposits, an earlier ground surface and a brick filled and backfilled cellar, which had been a part of Dormer House. (The aqueduct ran parallel to Nettleham Road on the north west side and is known to come at least as far as no.29's garden).
