- "Foxhill in Whiteknights Park, Reading (now part of the University of Reading) was built in 1867 by Alfred Waterhouse for himself and enlarged in 1875. Sharp gables, terracotta decoration
diagonal dark brick patterning against the general red brick and a fully Gothic doorway" are so me of the distinguishing characteristics." (Source: University of Reading site, http://www.rdg.ac.uk/) - Source:
