Welsh Slate Roof - Juniper Hall, Paddington
Juniper Hall was built by a gin distiller named Robert Cooper in 1824. The oldest standing home in Paddington, it was named Juniper Hall after the juniper berries that are used to make the beverage of the same name. Later the house was used as an orphanage before being renovated and opened as a museum in 1980.
In 1984 the community was up in arms over plans to redevelop Juniper Hall as a shopping arcade, and in March of that year the National Trust announced that it would purchase the property. The building is the oldest home in Paddington and a fine example of colonial Georgian architecture and features new Penrhyn slate on its roof.
