A sense of placeDating from the 1890s, the original building, a familiar landmark in Hatfield Road,is an asset of local architectural and historic interest.

The building was designed by Arthur Smyth Flower,who had worked for Alfred Waterhouse, architect ofthe Museum of Natural History in Kensington.
In 1896 Earl Spencer, who owned much of the land onthe north side of Hatfield Road, donated a site “amplysufficient for a thoroughly useful building.” An appealwas launched to raise funds to build a Museum and byOctober 1897 work commenced on a significantportion of the structure.
The foundation stone was laid by Lady Evans on 20 July1898 when Earl Cowper planted a sapling of the famousPanshanger Oak (the largest oak tree in the country,planted by Elizabeth I) in the gardens. By 1913 a much-needed extension was commenced, approximatelydoubling the Museum’s size.
During the First World War the building was occupiedby St Albans High School for Girls, after the militaryhad requisitioned the School’s nearby premises. In April1955 the City of St Albans took over the building tohouse the Museum of St Albans.
With the recent transformation of the Town Hall to anew world-class Museum and Gallery, the originalmuseum site now embarks on a new chapter of its own.The original façade preserves some of the site’s muchloved historic character and the links with its past.
The development is helping to fund the new Museumproject. Each purchaser at Oak Tree Gardens will havethe opportunity to add their name to the new Museumand Gallery Honours Boards, marking theircontribution to this exciting project.
