Yesterday acquired this postcard of the said building in Birmingham. From the photo and the card design it must be pre WW1 and probably pre 1900, so presumably nothing to do with the University. any ideas as to where it is/was (most likely was I'm afraid)

Hello RobertI’m writing the history of Edgbaston Archery & Lawn Tennis Society, the oldest lawn tennis club in the world. George Dixon was a member of the Society when it was Edgbaston Archery Society in the 1860s. I wonder wether you’d be happy to send me a high resolution (409dpi) copy of the postcard. I should add that the book is a bit fir profit excercusr. It will be freely available on the Society’s web site and, if we can raise the cash, there might be a limited 160th anniversary edition circulated to members and interested parties.
These images are really interesting and add a lot to my knowledge of the popularity of archery at this time. Many thanks.Hello Robert
You may be interested in the attached images taken from: "The Dales" Growing Up in a Victorian Family by Katie Rathbone 1861-1948, edited by Bob and Harlan Walker and privately printed in 1989. Katie was the daughter of George Dixon. It contains only one photograph of the exterior (together with the attached painting) but it does contain many images of the interior during George Dixon's tenancy.
Hi, I live in one of the houses built in the grounds of The Dales/Chancellor's Hall and I am looking into the history of the area for our residents' association, as we know that it is 50 years since the first residents moved into the new homes. Would you mind if I took a copy of the postcard to show to our members?Yesterday acquired this postcard of the said building in Birmingham.
