Description:
View of Owen's College, Oxford Road, Manchester. The building features Gothic arches and Gothic pointed gables and was designed by the Manchester architect Alfred Waterhouse. A lawn area with a couple of small trees is directly in front of the building. The building is now named for John Owens an unmarried Manchester merchant and industrialist who had died in 1846, leaving his fortune to form a University for educating youths. Between 1880 and 1902 the building became part of a quadrangle of University buildings, formed by the building for the Manchester Museum, the Beyer Building, the Christie Library, and the Whitworth Hall.
