The forty - first Report of the Society for the Protection of

Ancient Buildings, of 20 Buckingham Street, Adelphi, contains as usual some attractive photographs of the old churches and towers in the fate of which the Society is interesting itself. Among them isnn- happily the delightful Harbour-Master's House at Limehouse, which Whistler etched, and which is familiar to every frequenter of the Port of London. An electric-power station is, it seems, to be built on the site. It should be possible to preserve the old house as a residence for the engineer in charge of the station.
