Blackwell Arts and Crafts House
Blackwell Arts and Crafts House, Independent museum in Windermere, England
The Blackwell house displays white plasterwork, carved wooden panels, leaf-shaped door handles, and stained glass windows overlooking Lake Windermere and Coniston Fells.
Constructed between 1898 and 1900 as a holiday residence for Manchester brewer Sir Edward Holt, the building later served as Huyton College during World War II.
The interior features metalwork by William Arthur Smith Benson, ceramics from Pilkingtons, Ruskin Pottery, and furniture pieces from Morris & Co and Ernest Gimson.
The tea room, located in the former kitchen area, serves seasonal meals and refreshments while the contemporary gift shop sells products from current craft makers.
The dining room contains an original hessian wall hanging, while the white drawing room displays intricate plasterwork designed by architect Baillie Scott.
