 * The article was created on 2 March 2015 and is more than long enough for DYK requirements and well structured.
 * Well-referenced, and appropriate use has been made of the sources. The articles uses exactly what I would expect for a centuries-old listed building: Pevsner, the English Heritage listing, local history books and contemporary newspaper reports.
 * The hook is supported by an offline source (The Founder: Cecil Rhodes and the Pursuit of Power) which appears to be well regarded for the quality of its research.
 * The article is well-written and gives a clear picture of the building's history and architecture.

Well done on an informative article on an important building in one of the few parts of Britain I'm completely unfamiliar with. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  20:44, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
