Laycock House dormitory, 1934

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionThis photograph shows the dormitory of Laycock House as it appeared in 1934. The room is lined with neatly made iron-framed beds, each dressed with matching fringed coverlets and a folded towel or pillow at the head. The polished floorboards and high, white-painted ceiling reflect the era's emphasis on order, hygiene and simplicity in student accommodation. Large windows at the far end of the room allow in natural light, while hanging pendant lights provide illumination after dark. The sparse decoration and symmetrical layout reflect the values of discipline and uniformity typical of school boarding facilities in the early 20th century.DateBetween 1st January 1934 and 31st December 1934Year1934CreatorCarey Baptist Grammar SchoolTypeBuildingKeywordDormitories
