The Anchorage, Arts and Crafts residence in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, England
The Anchorage exhibits brick construction with stone dressings and applied timber framing, complemented by a distinctive off-center cupola on its tiled roof.
Built in 1899 for manufacturing jeweler Alfred Constantine, the building was designed by architects Joseph Crouch and Edmund Butler as a residential property.
The interior features metal works by the Bromsgrove Guild and embroidery by Mary Newill, representing the craftsmanship principles of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Located at 137 Handsworth Wood Road, the Grade II* listed building underwent modifications including the conversion of a garage into a separate dwelling unit.
A fire in 1977 damaged the building's minstrels' gallery and the notable murals titled The Hunt and Feast, created by artist Fred Davis.
