+ About Christchurch Modern
We're not architects, we're not historians and we don't know much about anything. However we do like modern houses and Christchurch is a great place for them.
If you know of a house that deserves a mention please let us know. If we've made a mistake, do the same. If you like the site, tell your friends. If you hate the site, tell your friends you like it anyway. It's a minor white lie that anyone would forgive.

8 Grange St. Dobson House. George Lucking.

Well documented in Douglas Lloyd Jenkins’ At Home, the Dobson House was designed for a doctor and his family. The living area downstairs is dominated by an elegant central brick fireplace, adjacent are formal dining and sitting rooms. Also downstairs is Dr Dobson’s consulting room.

It’s a deceptively large house that has been added to over the years, but the main building remains wonderfully original and intact. All the bedrooms are on the second floor to take advantage of the Southern view toward Murray Aynsley Hill.
