History

It was built as a private villa in 1880 by architects Charles and Leslie Ower, for Henry McGrady.[1][2] The building was later utilised as Seymour Lodge School which was a private all-girls establishment. In 1939, when Britain declared ware on Germany, the school relocated to Ochtertyre House, Crieff, and closed in 1966.[3] The house was afterwards used as a child protection unit, which was replaced by new accommodation at King's Cross Hospital.[4] Seymour Lodge was offered for sale in November 2012.[5]
