Chosen location

The location I have chosen for this project is Meanwood Towers which was formerly known as Meanwood House and was built in 1866-67.The house was designed by Edward Welby Pugin and is in victorian gothic style.The owner of the house Thomas Stuart Kennedy commissioned Edmund Schulze to build an pipe organ for the house that was installed in 1869. The house featured an 800 seater wooden concert hall. The organ only stayed at the house for 8 years and was loaned to St Peters church in Harrogate for 2 years before being sold and given to Bartholomew's Church in Armley where it still resides today. The house used to have tall chimneys fitting wight eh style of the rest of the house but they were removed in 1969 for safety reasons. The house is now made up of flats although a lot of its original feature remain including a grand marble staircase. 

I want to tell the story of this house an how it has changed over time, including what it is like to live there now. I know someone who has lived in a flat in the building for 8 years so i will interview him about what his view of this building is and try to find out the more subtle personal things about living in  a piece of history. I will get him to show me round and take photos of both he exterior and interior. I will also keep researching the building and surrounding area.
