House now part of college. Late 1840s or early 1850s. Incised

of calciferous sandstone), sill band and dentilled wooden
cornice. Graduated greenslate roof, partly hipped; cement
rendered ridge and rear chimney stacks.
2 storeys, 4 bays with 3-bay left return, double-depth plan
with cross-wing to right. Storeyed wing is gabled with a
canted bay window. Left bays have a right panelled door with
overlight and side lights in stone surround. Sash windows with
original margin glazing bars in plain reveals. Between floors
is a stone balcony on large stone brackets with wrought-iron
balusters and handrail. Right and rear C20 extensions.
INTERIOR has panelled doors in panelled reveals and some
panelled shutters. Moulded plaster ceiling cornices and some
central roundels in principal rooms. Cantilever stone
staircase has scrolled cast-iron balusters and moulded
mahogony handrail; glazed stair cupola has ribbed plaster

HISTORY: When built this was called The Villa and is marked as
such on the 1865 OS map; later it was known as Stanwix Villa.
JD Carr lived here between 1845 and 1854, and it may have been
built for him. It appears the name was changed by James Morton
when he came to live here in 1900, see Jocelyn Morton (1971).
It was compulsorily purchased by the City Council in 1949, see
Carlisle Journal, (1949) and it became the College of Art in
1951.
