The argument that a freely licensed equivalent cannot be created because the house is located on private property obscured from public view seems a little thin to me. It seems possible for someone to obtain permission to enter to grounds for the purpose a taking a photograph of the house. The fact that someone named Alan Magnus took the photo found on the website given as the source for the means that it's not only possible for Magnus himself (if he's still living) to upload the file to Commons or Fickr or some other website under a Commons-compatible free license of his choosing, but also possible for someone else to take a similar photo. The house is still standing and is said to be one of the principle buildings of St Martha's Senior School, so somebody associated with the school (a teacher or student perhaps) could take a picture of the house freely license it. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:56, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your patience and willingness to discuss things. BTW, since the file being used is now freely licensed, I think it can also be used on St Martha's Senior School. It's also probably OK to upload a non-free version of the school's logo (see here or here) for use in the article's infobox. The logo itself may even be OK per {{ PD-USonly}}, but not sure if it's OK for Commons as c:Template:PD-textlogo because the UK has a pretty low TOO. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:04, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
