Decoy Farm on the Hendon/Temple Fortune boundary was painted circa 1890 by Louise Surrey.
The farmhouse was an 18th-century building, which took its name from a nearby pond used as a duck decoy.
The farmland was destroyed with the building of the North Circular Road in 1925. The building was demolished in 1935.
A bricked-up window in the painting indicates an attempt to reduce window taxes paid on a residence introduced in the 18th century.
