BLACKWELL

Blackwell was designed by arts and crafts architect M.H.Baillie Scott as a holiday home for Edward Holt, the mayor of Manchester, and was completed in 1900. This house of international importance, standing at the crossroads between Victorian and Modern architecture, was given Grade 1 listing in 1998.
Having assimilated the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris, Baillie Scott brought a new approach to the design of the house.
By dismissing the restrictive Victorian plan in favour of a modern open plan design, Baillie Scott utilised space and light to from the large, yet comfortable and adaptable living spaces seen at Blackwell.
In keeping with the arts and crafts philosophy, Baillie Scott also designed every detail of the house, oak panelling, stained glass, decorative plasterwork, metalwork and fabric designs.
