Description
The Glass House is a stained glass studio, dating from 1906, located on Lettsie Street. It is constructed of stock brick with red brick dressings and has plain tiled pitched roofs to the eaves. The studio section consists of four gabled bays, with a central pilastered and corniced Doric porch. The windows are segmentally headed, featuring tall studio windows on the upper floor and smaller paired windows on the lower ground floor, all with metal glazing bars. Attached to the studio is a house of three bays, incorporating a gabled porch, and two-storey square gabled bay windows on the left and right, each with four-light stone mullioned windows. The building was founded by Mary Lowndes and Alfred Drury and served as a facility for independent stained glass artists, including Christopher Whall, Henry Holiday, Robert Anning Bell, and Karl Parsons.
