Thornhill House, Putney

Thornhill House is a Grade II listed house at 78 Deodar Road, Putney, London SW15, built in about 1890 by the Kensington builder Mr Wakefield, who incorporated fine panelling, staircase and wall-paintings from Wandsworth Manor, which dated from the late 17th century, and was demolished in 1890. Some panelling and flooring is thought to have come from the Tivoli Theatre of Varieties on the Strand, London, which was demolished in 1916. Other internal decorations were added by his grandson, Norris, who had worked with Edward James in the 1930s at Monkton House. [1] It contains murals by the artist Sir James Thornhill. [2]

Deodar Road is a street in Putney, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. There are no other streets named Deodar Road in Great Britain. It was formerly the site of a mansion called The Cedars and a terrace of houses built in 1853. This was on the site of Copthall, a villa rebuilt in the 1620s. Next to this was a mansion, Putney House, built in the 1680s; it was converted into a College for Civil Engineers in 1839 and demolished in 1857. When the railway and bridge crossing the Thames was built (1887-9) by The London and South West Railway it more or less went straight through the terrace of houses. The area fell into decline and the Cedars was demolished about 1890. The road was named after The Cedars; the Himalayan cedar, Cedrus deodara. It was previously called Ranelagh Road.
