Finella

House, approximately dating to around 1840, and extensively decorated internally between 1927 and 1929 by Raymond McGrath for Mansfield Forbes. Later in the 20th century, it was divided into eight Fellows' lodgings. The house is constructed of colourwashed brick, with a slate roof. It is two storeys in height, with a four-window front. The south front features three canted bay windows on the ground floor, each fitted with three-light cross casement windows, including opening metal panes above the transoms. The first floor is lit by four three-light cross casement windows, and a deep fascia board sits below projecting eaves. A hipped roof is topped by three gault-brick stacks irregularly spaced along the north roof slope. A two-storey hipped service wing extends to the north. The main entrance is on the east return.

The interior entrance hall runs east-west, connecting to a staircase at a right angle. The hallway walls are clad in aluminium leaf, which extends in square panels into the canted ceiling. Triangular, laminated glass corbels are incorporated into the ceiling at the junction with the walls, and larger, curved triangular glass corbels in groups of three are positioned above the principal doors. The floor is concrete, inlaid with blue serpentine patterns. A groined vault marks the foot of the staircase, leading to a terminal doorway decorated with three black inlaid strips, and the vault itself is finished with applied gold leaf. The walls are lined with laminated glass panels. The staircase has a boarded balustrade and a ramped moulded handrail. A ground-floor room on the south side has a central dome with beaten copper panels enriched with aluminium foil, and glazed upper sections. A projecting black chimneypiece incorporates a mirror. A west room opens into a further room to the north through folding doors of beaten copper, set within a surround of alternating ebony and copper strips. A stick-baluster staircase from around 1840 is found in the rear wing, and the first-floor passageway is lined with black laminated glass. Doorcases and details on this floor also date to around 1840. The interior is considered significant for the history of the Modern Movement.
