David Dale's House
David Dale's House , also known as Rosedale Villa , is a residential building in the Scottish industrial estate of New Lanark in the Council Area of South Lanarkshire . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A. It is also part of the New Lanark World Heritage Site .
history
The building was built around 1790 and was probably expanded after 1798. During the 19th century, the interior was modernized. With Robert Owen's House and David Dale's House, there are two residential buildings in New Lanark, which were inhabited by the factory owners David Dale and his half-brother James as well as the operations manager William Kelly . Robert Owen later lived in one of the buildings. While the two buildings are known, it is not known which of the two houses Dale and Owen inhabited. Owen lived in New Lanark from 1798 to 1808 before moving to nearby Braxfield House . The space required to accommodate Owen's seven children was cited as a possible reason for the expansion of David Dale's House. In 1903 the manager lived in the residential building known as the Rosedale Villa .
