The Sun House
On an earlier quest for this building I mistook my house and photographed a modern pastiche on the opposite side of the road. In fairness to myself I will say that I was not so ignorant as to mistake a completely new house for a 30s original; I assumed the original house had been renovated. Even so it is difficult to explain, unless by stupidity, how I came to miss the correct house, which must have been just over my shoulder when I was taking the earlier photos.
The house, known as "The Sun House", is a stone's throw from Addenbroke Hospital in leafy south Cambridge and is attributed to Mullet & Denton-Smith, for a client called William Cairns. It was built 1938-9.
