Berkhamsted Girls' School (Architectural Competition)

BERKHAMSTED GIRLS' SCHOOL - Sixty designs have been sent in for this competition. The assessor, Mr. H. H. Statham, after spending three days in examination of the designs, awarded the first premium, of £50, to the design numbered 55; the second premium, £35, to No. 1; and the third premium, £15, to No. 40. At a meeting of the Committee on the 20th inst. the corresponding envelopes were opened, and it was found that the author of No. 55 was Mr. R. H. Spalding, of 15, Queen-street, Cheapside; the authors of No. 1 were Mr. Curtis Green and Mr. Archibald C. Dickie, of 7, John-street, Bedford-row; and the authors of No. 40 were Mr. W. J. Tapper and Mr. H. D. Crouch, of 12, Gray's Inn-square. The designs were to be on view at Berkhamsted Town Hall on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; of this week. As the Committee were unable to arrange for the complete hanging of so large a number of drawings, and they could only be placed round the hall in sets, a small charge has been made for entry, to protect the drawings from any rough handling.
