Chester Watercolour
Providence House Signed Horatio Lloyd ' 44
In all probability a talented Amateur Artist, as he does not appear in any reference books, which implies he did not exhibit at any of the major galleries. However, an H .Lloyd exhibited one architectural subject at the RA in 1838. address unknown.
The house , itself, is flanked by Georgian brick buildings and dates from 1652. This was one of Chester's most famous timber houses. The description "God's Providence is Mine Inheritance" is said to refer to the house's escape from an outbreak of Plague. This picture shows the house before 1861 when the owner proposed to demolish it. The Chester Archaeological society which was encouraging the half timber revival protested strongly, and some of the original timbers were used when it was rebuilt in a larger form by James Harrison in 1862.
An identical view of the house was painted by Louise Rayner ( 1832-1924 ) which makes an interesting comparison.
