Rees house |
|
Built around
1900 this Italianate villa was the second residence of the Rees family who
had by then become wealthy through shipping. Now used as an educational
faculty, it is listed and much of the original furniture is still in situ.
It is remarkable that this building shares many features of Queen Victoria’s
summer retreat of Osborne,
that was built at around the same time. The design of the Rees mansion maybe
inspired by this Royal palace. |
