This photograph of the exterior of John Wesley's House was taken on August 1st, 1942, during World War II. Note the glass window panes which are taped. Taping window glass was very common, to help prevent bomb damage. Un-taped glass shattered more easily during bomb raids and could turn into life-threatening projectiles for people inside and outside houses.
