Abstract
- The article focuses on the architectural design and its attributions of the eighteenth-century garden house built by the Duke of Northumberland at Hulne Priory, three miles west of Alnwick Castle in England. It was noted that the garden house was attributed both to Robert Adam and to Capability Brown, in which it was brought up the idea that the exterior of the garden house is by Brown and the interiors by Adam. However, the author remarks that these attributions rely on stylistic parallels or unspecific documentary evidence, and none is convincing. Built of coursed rubble stonework, the garden house is a two-storey block, with walls built in flat planes and a roof of series flat leaded slopes. Moreover, the building's design is generally in a Gothic style.
