Zusammenfassung:In 1862 Thomas Rickman won the competition to design a large residential building for St John's College. New examination of the college's archives and Rickman's papers reveals the unexpected degree to which he drew on earlier proposals for the site. It also challenges the preconceptions that historians have brought to their analysis of his design. It will be seen that some of its most distinctive features were adopted by Rickman from the ideas of other architects.
