C.B. Marshall’s design was selected as a result of a competition and a full-size replica of the house was built and exhibited at the Ideal Home Exhibition, in 1935. George V never lived to see the house at Burhill completed, the ownership of which passed to George VI. Despite the large number of attributions to builders and fitters including Harrods, Royal Doulton etc. In 1935 Dr Maurice Jacobs a pulmonologist from Hull visited the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia and took a liking to the design of the Kings Jubilee House and up contact with the Crown and negotiated a Royalty fee and with Wheatley and Holdsworth of Savile Street, Hull built a replica of the exhibited house on Hull Road in Cottingham. He lived and had his surgery there until the sixties. He built a north facing courtyard balcony for treating TB patients who slept on the balcony. In 1964 he sold about ½ an acre of the garden. After his death in March 1965 he bequeathed the house to Hull University.Between the mid sixties and 2017 the house was used as the Vice Chancellors residence. The Kings House, No 4 Hull Road, is a large Neo-Georgian style Art Deco detached house, built mid-1930’s, by W.B. Wheatley for Dr M. Jacobs. It is a replica of The Kings House at Burhill, Surrey by C. Beresford Marshall, circa 1935 presented to King George V by the Royal Warrant Holders’ Association.
