Rhodes House on South
Parks Road in Oxford was established in
the will of Cecil Rhodes as a centre for
scholars from the U.S.A., the British
Empire and Germany, so called Rhodes
Scholars. The house is regarded as a
memorial to Rhodes and home to the Rhodes
Trustees in Oxford.
Designed by Sir Herbert

comments as featuring, "... an
H-shaped plan, in the C17 style of the
region, with great hall in the central
range and reading rooms, library and
stairs in the west wing; in the
forecourt to the north a Classical
rotunda with a copper-clad dome and a
tetrastyle portico, two colums deep."
