Historic Buildings of the London Borough of Haringey

Site: William Tegetmeier (1 memorial)

Muswell Hill was not developed until the late 19th century so when Tegetmeier lived here he was probably surrounded by farmland. The house does not appear on this but is on this , still with not much else around.
