This is a recording of a talk called 'Design, Decoration & Construction of the Terraced House' recorded on 16th November 2021.
Kit Wedd will explore the design and construction of the typical domestic terraced house: materials, structural frame, brick, glass, bay window, the personalisation of terraces, architectural pattern books and domestic gardens. She will introduce us to how builders, trades and builders’ merchants worked together. She will consider the influence of family composition and domestic staff on housing design and the evolution from Victorian to Edwardian style.
Kit Wedd is an architectural historian and works as a heritage advisor for an engineering consultancy. She has written many articles on historical conservation and interior decoration and is an active member of the Victorian Society.
