3/3 #CRAshbee. Here's a book of Ashbee's poems, from 1906, with some Whitechapel references -- the Guild and School of Handicraft was based there. The #queer codewords he preferred were 'comrade' and 'comradeship'. I learned most about queer life in this period from Sheila Rowbotham's wonderful book on Edward Carpenter. https://archive.org/details/echoesfromcityof00ashb/mode/2up

Across the street, Nathan Moore House, '85/'23 (restored after fire). Wright's vision gr8tly infuenced by Brits: #artsandcrafts #WillilamMorris #CRAshbee #Vosysey #Lutyens. Here, Wright was hungry for work, client wanted English Tudor.
