Waverley

Relevant Dates: 1933

View of Waverley Hall, the original administration building constructed in 1891. This view shows the extensive 1903 additions made on the northern facade, identified by its lower roof line. The entire structure was converted into staff housing in 1936, and later condemned and abandoned before the school's closure.
