'House of Sanchez', c1830, (1907). Building in the grounds of the Alhambra, Granada, Spain, which mainly dates from the 14th century. 'La Casa Sanchez, so-called from having been the dwelling of an honest muleteer of that name, was once one of the most picturesque and most Moorish of dwellings. But, alas! in the year 1837, whole front was "restored" and "beautified", and an ancient fish-pond...was filled up and converted into a garden by one of the resident officers of the Palace.' After John Frederick Lewis. From "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of the Peninsula with a particular account of the Mohammedan architecture and decoration" by Albert F. Calvert. [John Lane, London & New York, 1907]
