ROTHBURY HOUSE NURSING HOME, NEWPORT, WALES
Built c.1880 as a large detached house in the Jacobean style. The area of Stow Park Cresent and Stow Park circle was at the mid C19 a largely rural area on the outskirts of Newport but it was heavily developed during c.1870-1890 for higher class detached housing. Several of the houses were designed by A.O. Watkins of Newport, a well established local architect and it is likely that Rothbury House is to his designs. It was used during the later C20 as a nursing home.
Included for its special architectural interest as a well detailed and accomplished larger detached house of the later C19, important for its historical interest as part of the suburban expansion of the town of Newport and for retaining its original form and much original detail.
