Runnymede - the Fairhaven Lodges

Designed by Lutyens and opened in 1932. I've read that Lutyens didn't like visible guttering and downpipes, avoiding them where possible (sometimes with awkward consequences for future maintenance).

 

Certainly none of that here - the eaves are formed from the same red clay tiles as the roof and they drip onto a brick gutter running round the foot of the building.
