EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905, showcases an exquisite example of a Tropical House designed and manufactured by Advert, R Rogerson & Co. of Scotstoun, Glasgow, Scotland. The company, renowned for its exceptional joinery works, was a leading contractor in the production of Tropical Houses and Bungalows during the Edwardian era. The image displays one of their masterpieces, which was supplied to the Colonial Government for use in Southern Nigeria. The Tropical House, with its distinctive Art Nouveau style, was designed to provide comfort and functionality in the hot and humid climate of Africa. The intricate details of the house, including the decorative border and ornate columns, reflect the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that was a hallmark of Rogerson's work. The company's success in the colonial market was a testament to the Scottish industrial prowess during the 1900s. The Tropical Houses and Bungalows provided a solution to the housing needs of the British colonizers, who sought to establish a comfortable living environment in the tropical regions. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative designs and the far-reaching influence of Scottish industry in the colonial world. Advert, R Rogerson & Co's Mount Street Joinery Works in Scotstoun, Glasgow, was a hub of creativity and production, where skilled craftsmen transformed raw materials into beautiful and functional buildings. The photograph serves as a reminder of the company's significant contribution to the architectural landscape of Scotland and beyond, during the early 20th century.
