Athlone House, Victorian mansion in Highgate, London, England
Athlone House exhibits Dutch architectural elements with classical influences, featuring a tall gable and Tudor-style chimneys near Hampstead Heath.
Edward Brooke, an aniline dye manufacturer, commissioned the construction of this residence in 1872, selecting architects Edward Salomons and John Philpot.
The Royal Air Force Intelligence School operated from this location during World War II, training more than 6000 officers while maintaining a hospital facade.
The mansion underwent extensive restoration work after 2016, incorporating modern amenities such as an underground swimming pool, tennis courts, and multiple bedroom suites.
Local residents mounted a successful 18-year preservation campaign, gathering 5000 supporters to prevent the demolition of this historical structure.
