House in Mill Lane, Cambridge built about 1925 by George HUBBARD.
Now  the Career's Office.

From a letter by JFH in 2011

I know he (Great Uncle George) did some work in Cambridge as Aunt Frances recalled how she had to drive him up there one time. She was in her late teens/early 20's, and her Uncle George said she should drive. She had just one lesson (this was in London) and the very next day she chauffeured him all the way to Cambridge! This would have been around 1920 before the days of driving tests and licenses. 

He was a very fine architect.

He also made a wonderful set of wooden bricks all finely proportional and exact. As children, my two brothers and I were fortunate to have this huge box of wooden bricks to play with as a toy item. This was long before Lego etc..My father, who was also an architect, said his Uncle George used these bricks for 3D effect before settling down to drawing architectural plans.
These wooden bricks were passed on to John's children (I think) - so several generations of Hubbard children had the pleasure of them
