I have no idea why these three handsome houses near Portsmouth Cathedral were built in this style. My guess is that they are approximately 200 years old, but the Dutch influence in Portsmouth goes back much further than that. Indeed, Portsmouth owes a great debt to the Dutch military engineer Bernard de Gomme who built the city's defences against attack from the sea (i.e. by the French) in the mid-1660s. Most of them still stand.
What interests me about these houses is that you can see where the door of the left-hand house was originally set close to the street corner. This suggests to me that the present front door originally belonged to another very thin house that ran up to the lone dormer window.
Label Design from Holland. ------When Imperial was founded in 1947, it concentrated on rhythm and blues (R&B) and country music: Fats Domino, Frankie Ford, Ricky Nelson, and Slim Whitman. In the UK Imperial was distributed by London Records.
Imperial bought Aladdin Records in 1960 and Minit Records in 1963 (having distributed Minit since 1960). During the 1950s, Imperial was one of the primary labels issuing a vast quantity of R&B from New Orleans, through their involvement with the producer and writer Dave Bartholomew, and in the 1960s, with their distribution (and purchase, a few years later) of the independent label Minit Records.
In 1963, after Imperial lost Fats Domino and Ricky Nelson to rival record companies, Chudd sold the label to Liberty Records.[1] Under Liberty's management, the label enjoyed success with Irma Thomas, Johnny Rivers, Jackie DeShannon, Classics IV, and Cher.
During the British Invasion, Liberty (whose recordings were distributed by EMI in the UK) licensed The Hollies, Billy J. Kramer, the Dakotas, and the Swinging Blue Jeans from EMI. Recordings by the Bonzo Dog Band and Kim Fowley were issued in the U.S. on the Imperial label.
By 1970 the label had become part of Liberty's merger with United Artists Records but was phased out shortly after, with its artists being transferred to United Artists. EMI acquired the Imperial Records catalogue with its acquisition of UA Records in 1979.

15th century - Dutch Book of Hours
The Book of Hours were typically written on vellum (prepared animal skins) and covered with leather. Used more often as a status symbol than devotional tools, the more elaborate the illustrations and covers, the more desirable and costly the books were.
