Foxhill House

Foxhill House

Foxhill House is a Gothic revival style building on the Whiteknights campus of the University of Reading at Earley, adjoining the English town of Reading. It was originally built by the famous architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1868 as his own residence, and was later occupied by Rufus Isaacs, 1st Marquess of Reading.cite web | url = http://www.reading.ac.uk/bulletin/pdfs/434.pdf | title = Bulletin - 26 May 2005 | pages = 6 | publisher = University of Reading | accessdate = 2007-11-09] [cite web | title = Sir Rufus Isaacs Has Risen Rapidly |url = http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9C00E6DE113AE633A25750C1A9609C946396D6CF | publisher = New York Times | date = 1912-06-13 | accessdate = 2007-11-09]

Used for a period as student accommodation, Foxhill House was extensively restored between 2003 and 2005, and is now the home of the University's School of Law. In 2007 the courtyard of the building was refurbished with a grant from the PriceWaterhouseCoopers in memory of Edwin Waterhouse, who was both a co-founder of that company and the brother of the building's architect. Foxhill House is a grade II listed building.cite web | url = http://www.reading.ac.uk/bulletin/pdfs/434.pdf | title = Bulletin - 26 May 2005 | pages = 6 | publisher = University of Reading | accessdate = 2007-11-09] cite web | url = http://www.reading.ac.uk/bulletin/pdfs/472.pdf | title = Bulletin - 8 November 2007 | pages = 3 | publisher = University of Reading | accessdate = 2007-11-09]
