Canvas Print : Palace of the People, Muswell Hill
Canvas Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Palace of the People, Muswell Hill
Design for the Palace of the People, Muswell Hill: North front, by architect Owen Jones. This design was never in fact realised. The Great Northern Palace Company eventually named the palace after the new Princess of Wales, Alexandra of Denmark, who had married Prince Edward four months earlier. Alexandra Palace commenced construction in September 1865 to a design by John Johnson and Alfred Meeson rather than the glass structure initially proposed by Owen Jones. The building retained Palace of the People or The Peoples Palace as an alternative name. Date: 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the proposed North front design of the Palace of the People, a visionary architectural project by Owen Jones for Muswell Hill in London during the 1860s. Jones' design featured an impressive glass structure intended to serve as a cultural and recreational hub for the public, offering a unique blend of art, education, and entertainment. However, the project did not come to fruition as planned. Instead, the Palace of the People, also known as Alexandra Palace, was commissioned by the Great Northern Railway Company and constructed between September 1865 and March 1873. The palace was eventually named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark, who had married Prince Edward four months earlier. The building's design was led by architects John Johnson and Alfred Meeson, resulting in a more traditional Victorian architectural style. Despite the departure from Jones' original design, the Palace of the People retained its alternative name and continued to embody the spirit of public access and community engagement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's architectural past, showcasing the potential impact of a groundbreaking yet unrealized design by Owen Jones. The Palace of the People, or Alexandra Palace, is an enduring symbol of London's architectural heritage and a testament to the power of imagination and innovation in shaping our urban landscapes. This image invites us to reflect on the possibilities of what could have been, while celebrating the unique character and history of this remarkable building.
