Main Farm Building At College Farm

The main farm building at College Farm, located on Fitzalan Road in Finchley, was built in 1883 and designed by Frederick Chancellor. This structure, which originally housed cows and supported dairy functions, is constructed of red brick with some tile hanging and features a steeply pitched pantiled roof. It has a double courtyard plan and a symmetrical layout with 11 main bays, showcasing Queen Anne architectural style.

The building is primarily single-storeyed, except for the central and slightly projecting end bays, which are two storeys high and topped with gables. There are two intermediate gables above the carriageways. The outer bays have tile hanging on the upper storey, while the central bay features mock timber framing and stucco, crowned by an ogee domed lantern with a weathervane. The main entrance is located at the center and has 20th-century doors. The windows are square-headed, with stable doors, some featuring timber mullions and transoms, as well as casements with glazing bars.

College Farm was notable as the model dairy farm of George Barham, who was associated with the Express Dairy Company and is credited with pioneering the transportation of milk by train to London. It is believed to have been London's first Tuberculin Tested dairy.
