Brief description
https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/properties/music-room/
2026: "This is a garden pavilion from about 1730 with a Baroque interior of the highest order, in a lively pedestrian square in historic Lancaster.
A fine building marooned:
Long since separated from the rich lawyer’s town house it once graced, the Music Room had been well known for years as a building in distress, its fine plaster in fragments. It had a temporary roof and many broken windows; most of its plasterwork had fallen, but luckily almost all of it was still in the building.
Be inspired by the Muses:
The plasterwork of the Music Room itself took 6,000 hours of work to repair. It is an exceptional Baroque interior, where you may now sleep as well as play the baby grand piano (though we cannot always guarantee its tuning). On the walls are the Muses: eloquence, history, music, astronomy, tragedy, rhetoric, dancing, comedy and amorous poetry; with Apollo over the fireplace. A fruitful goddess with a torch presides over the ceiling. One Muse had vanished entirely and was recreated by the plasterers from Sutton Coldfield as a modern girl, big and busty, with a cheerful eye; she makes an excellent Muse of dancing."
