Hawthorns

This used to be a big hotel, starting off as a single villa and gradually expanding to a 250-bedroom giant by the 1950s. Currently it's student accommodation. It was run by John Dingle, an English chef who dreamed of being as well-regarded as his French counterparts.

The University is planning on knocking it down and putting up a very modern-looking library. I rather like it.
