Henry Pether (British, 1800-1880), Crowley House on the Thames, signed l.r., titled on a plaque below, oil on canvas, 61 by 91.5cm, gilt frame. Provenance: Lot 149, Fine Victorian Pictures, Christie's, London, 14th March 1997; and with Fine Art of Oakham. Note: the view is eastward across the frontage of Crowley House, Greenwich, just east of the Trinity Hospital almshouses, which lie behind the river wall on the right. They are now somewhat altered and the steps are no longer there. Greenwich Power Station (c.1906-1910) now stands on the site of Crowley House. Ballast Quay, to its east and roughly where the pitched roof building at the far end of the frontage stands was the related Crowley warehouse. Named after a seventeenth-century northern ironmaster and early owner of the house, it was demolished in the late 1850's. See Hastings Museum and Art Gallery for another version of this view by Pether.
