163 
on the north range was designed and built in 1864–69. The style adopted for 
this part of the museum was Italian Renaissance, much use was made 
of terracotta, brick and mosaic, this north façade was intended as the main 
entrance to the museum with its bronze doors designed by James Gamble & 
Reuben 
Townroe 
having 
six 
panels 
depicting: Humphry 
Davy (chemistry); Isaac 
Newton (astronomy); James 
Watt (mechanics); Bramante (architecture); Michelangelo (sculpture); Titian (
painting); thus representing the range of the museums collections,
 
Godfrey 
Sykes also designed the terracotta embellishments and the mosaic in 
the pediment of the North Façade commemorating the Great Exhibition the 
profits from which helped to fund the museum, this is flanked by terracotta 
statue groups by Percival Ball.
This building replaced Brompton Park House, 
which could then be demolished to make way for the south range. 
The interiors of the three refreshment rooms were assigned to different 
designers. The Green Dining Room 1866–68 was the work of Philip 
Webband William Morris,
displays Elizabethan influences, the lower part of 
the walls are panelled in wood with a band of paintings depicting fruit and the 
occasional figure, with moulded plaster foliage on the main part of the wall 
and a plaster frieze around the decorated ceiling and stained-glass windows 
by Edward Burne-Jones.
The Centre Refreshment Room 1865–77 was 
designed in a Renaissance style by James Gamble,
[49]
 the walls and even 
the Ionic columns are covered in decorative and moulded ceramic tile, the 
ceiling consists of elaborate designs on enamelled metal sheets and matching 
stained-glass windows, the marble fireplace
was designed and sculpted 
by Alfred Stevens and was removed from Dorchester House prior to that 
building's demolition in 1929. The Grill Room 1876–81 was designed by 
Sir Edward Poynter,
[51]
 the lower part of the walls consist of blue and white 

tiles with various figures and foliage enclosed by wood panelling, above there 
are large tiled scenes with figures depicting the four seasons and the twelve 
months these were painted by ladies from the Art School then based in the 
museum, the windows are also stained glass, there is an elaborate cast-iron 
grill still in place. 
With the death of Captain Francis Fowke, Royal Engineers the next 
architect to work at the museum was Colonel (later Major General) Henry 
Young Darracott Scott,
also of the Royal Engineers. He designed to the north 
west of the garden the five-storey School for Naval Architects (also known as 
the science schools),
now the Henry Cole Wing in 1867–72. Scott's 
assistant J.W. Wild designed the impressive staircase
that rises the full height 
of the building, made from Cadeby stone the steps are 7 feet (2.1 m) in length, 
the balustrades and columns are Portland stone. It is now used to jointly house 
the prints and architectural drawings of the V&A (prints, drawings, paintings 
and photographs) and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA Drawings 
and Archives Collections); and the Sackler Centre for arts education, which 
opened in 2008. Continuing the style of the earlier buildings, various 
designers were responsible for the decoration, the terracotta embellishments 
were again the work of Godfrey Sykes, although sgraffito was used to 
decorate the east side of the building designed by F. W. Moody,
a final 
embellishment were the wrought iron gates made as late as 1885 designed by 
Starkie Gardner,
these lead to a passage through the building. Scott also 
designed the two Cast Courts 1870–73
to the southeast of the garden (the site 
of the "Brompton Boilers"), these vast spaces have ceilings 70 feet (21 m) in 
height to accommodate the plaster casts of parts of famous buildings, 
including Trajan's Column (in two separate pieces). The final part of the 
museum designed by Scott was the Art Library and what is now the sculpture 
gallery on the south side of the garden, built 1877–83,
the exterior mosaic 
panels in the parapet were designed by Reuben Townroe who also designed 

165 
the plaster work in the library,
[60]
 Sir John Taylor designed the book shelves 
and cases,
also this was the first part of the museum to have electric lighting.
This completed the northern half of the site, creating a quadrangle with the 
garden at its centre, but left the museum without a proper façade. In 1890 the 
government launched a competition to design new buildings for the museum, 
with architect Alfred Waterhouse as one of the judges;
this would give the 
museum a new imposing front entrance.
