Summary[edit]
| Description |
The former Jezreel's Tower on Chatham Hill at the intersection between Canterbury Street and Watling Street, Gillingham, Kent. It was envisaged as a Jezreelite headquarters by James Roland White, aka James Jershom Jezreel (ca.1851-1885). Following his death, it was founded and built under the direction of his wife Clarissa (1860-1888), by architects Margetts of Chatham and builder James Gouge Naylor of Rochester. When she died in 1888 the building work ceased permanently, with the walls completed but without the roof. It was partly demolished sometime before 1911, and completely demolished between 1960 and 1961. This image is a scan of part of an article titled Follies: stories of bubbles in stone, by Oswald Marvin (1899). The article's pages are an extract from an unknown magazine. The image shows the building before it was sold, and before its partial demolition at the beginning of the 20th century. At this stage it had remained largely unchanged since building stopped in 1888, leaving the walls completed, but without a roof. |
