HISTORY: This house, originally called Kilowatt House, was built for Anthony Greenhill, a pioneer sound engineer with a particular interest in electrical engineering. The studio was intended to be used for recording. The architect Mollie Taylor (later Mrs Mollie Gerrarc) was daughter of the Bath city architect Alfred Taylor. A highly unusual house in the local context, this is a good Modern Movement design with an interesting history. Planning permission was granted in September 1935 on the condition that the exterior was painted Bath stone colour.
