Drawing Room, Carclew House, Mylor, Cornwall. 15th March 1912
The drawing room at Carclew House. Originally owned by the Bonython family, the house and estate were purchased by William Lemon (1696-1760) in 1749 who employed the architect Thomas Edwards to enlarge and modernise the house in the style of Palladios Villa Ragona. The house was further extended by Sir William (1748-1824) Lemon in the early 19th century by architect William Wood. It was destroyed by fire in 1934 but one wing was restored in the late 1930s to house refugees. There are a few ruins preserved. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegant drawing room of Carclew House in Mylor, Cornwall on a serene day in March 1912. Originally owned by the prestigious Bonython family, this magnificent house and estate were later acquired by William Lemon in 1749. With a vision to modernize and expand the property, Lemon enlisted renowned architect Thomas Edwards to create a grandeur befitting Palladio's Villa Ragona. The drawing room showcased in this image is a testament to the exquisite taste and opulence that once graced Carclew House. The intricate architectural details, reminiscent of Palladian style, are evident throughout the room. From ornate cornices adorning the ceiling to meticulously crafted moldings framing large windows that flood the space with natural light, every element exudes sophistication. Sadly, tragedy struck when fire ravaged Carclew House in 1934; however, one wing was restored during late 1930s to provide shelter for refugees during tumultuous times. Today, only remnants of its former glory remain as preserved ruins stand as silent witnesses to its illustrious past. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan with great skill and artistry, this print not only captures an extraordinary interior but also serves as a window into Cornish history. It invites us to imagine how important families once gathered within these walls and relish in their luxurious surroundings. This image is undoubtedly an invaluable piece for those fascinated by architecture, historic estates, and Cornwall's rich heritage.
