Kings Cross was so called from a statue of George IV., erected in 1830, greatly ridiculed and removed in 1845, but an earlier name, Battle Bridge, is traditionally derived from the stand of Queen Boadicea against the Romans, or from one of Alfreds contests with the Danes.
Somers Town, between Kings Cross and Camden Town, was formerly inhabited by refugees from the French Revolution, many of whom were buried in St Pancras churchyard.
Attached to the former manor-house of Totenhali was one of the famous pleasure resorts of the 17th and 18th centuries, and from c.

 The Schindler House
The Schindler studio-residence was built between February and June 1922 on Kings Road in Hollywood, California.
The houses design addressed and even resolved architectural problems involved with new methods of construction, a low budget, organization of living space, aesthetics, and a new life philosophy in a revolutionary manner.
The house was built according to the life philosophy of Pauline Schindler and a rather optimistic appreciation of the usually mild Southern Californian climate.

 Jamaica Gleaner - Re: new Canadian High Commission parking problems - Monday | May 29, 2000
The new Canadian High Commission at 3 West Kings House Road, South East corner of Waterloo Road and West Kings House Road, opened its doors to the Jamaica public on Monday, October 25, 1999.
Instead the people who live in the apartments and houses along West Kings House Road opposite and adjacent the High Commission have visitors' cars and taxis parking on the grass sidewalk/roadside verge and along the kerb in front of their homes despite yellow kerb "no parking" designation.
I refer to the development of the vacant lot on the north-west corner of the intersection of Waterloo and West Kings House Road known as the "Cholera Cemetery".

 cars - Kings Road
Kings Road is a major east-west street in London's Chelsea.
Kings Road was home in the 1960s to the Chelsea Drugstore (originally a chemist, that is to say a pharmacy, with a highly stylized chrome-and-neon soda fountain upstairs, later a public house; more recently the site became a McDonalds) and in the 1970s to Malcolm McLaren's boutique SEX.
Kings Road or Old Kings Road is also a name given to many old highways that were laid out by various kings.

 LA OBSCURA: Ain Biography
His impulse to study architecture came from an acquaintance as a youth with R.M. Schindler's Kings Road house, and his dissatisfaction with his Beaux Arts training determined him to work in the office of Richard Neutra.
In 1940 Ain received a Guggenheim Fellowship to continue his researches in low-cost housing, and throughout the 1940's he designed, with the participation of clients, a number of projects for attached and detached housing that were notable for site planning and innovative floor plans.
For his more elaborate houses he borrowed freely from the flexible plan of his low-cost housing, and in most cases the alcove sleeping room became a library or guest room.

 Schindler Shelter by Dave Hullfish Bailey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
Perhaps we have come to a point in history, in cities, in Los Angeles, where the ideal conditions for the "growth and development of the human being himself" appear maximized by the breakdown of the urban infrastructure.
The Kings Road House is in a unique position to do just this.
Given its location and its specific design, construction and land-use, it is possible that Schindler’s Kings Road House would spontaneously attract people to it under many likely disaster scenarios.

 Schindler House
Schindler established his practice there in 1922 with his own Kings Road House — a house designed as live-work space for two couples with a shared kitchen and an apartment for guests.
Although the materials and vocabulary of Schindler's work changed during the span of his career, his principles of design and spatial characteristics were consistent throughout his work.
This is true even as his spatial ideas evolved in his late work, including the translucent houses of the mid-1940s to early-1950s.

 Summer 2001 Page 2
The Oliver House (1933-34), the first built house to exhibit the full plaster-skin vocabulary, had an L-shaped plan and an asymmetric gable roof, hidden from the street, which Schindler shaped to articulate the interior spaces.
For two houses with tiny budgets, the Kaun Beach House (1934-35) and the de Keyser House (1935), he used strips of roofing as an exterior wall finish, exposing wood framing on the interior.
The tilted, translucent blue panels in the walls of the Janson House (1948-49) and the roof of the Tischler House (1949-52) made the interior spaces seem part of the California sky.

 ArchitectureWeek - 2004.0421
Ironically, the beautiful steel houses of Pierre Koenig, with their stunning, frank simplicity, graceful proportions, and sunny, contextually attuned openness, could hardly expect anonymity in an American landscape of neocolonial, neoclassical, and neovernacular norms.
Following on such earlier Los Angeles examples as the 1922 Kings Road House by Rudolph Schindler, and the 1929 Lovell "Health House" by Richard Neutra, Koenig's steel houses were a significant contribution to post-World War II modernism.
Going beyond the relatively precious purity of the Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe or the Glass House by Philip Johnson, the minimalist steel house in the hands of Koenig became a practical statement about modern living.

 R. M. Schindler
Schindler worked primarily on the Barnsdall house; he also helped in the early stages of Wright's concrete block experiments of the 1920s.
He struggled against regulators incapable of understanding his designs and thus reluctant to authorize construction permits, against banks that refused to authorize loans, and with members of the building trade reluctant to abandon traditional building techniques.
Schindler designed and built his own house on Kings Road in Hollywood in 1921-22.
