The history of Prospect House - a forgotten building in Marlow

The site is now occupied by the Glade View apartments, shown in the first recent picture.
However I doubt if there is anyone still around who has memories of the elegant but very unusual dwelling that once stood alongside, on what is now just a raised grassy triangle at the road junction.
This was Prospect House, a square brick building but with a wedge shaped projection on pillars facing West, and it is marked on the 1909 Ordnance map, inserted. The centre insert is from a Marlow Directory of a similar year.
This was the home of the Sparks family who appear in each one of three postcards that I have. These date from the early 1900s and are in black and white (monochrome, if you’re posh) but I have done my best to add a dash of colourisation.
