Swan House, Chelsea Embankment

[1][2][3] Built in 1876 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw, architecturally it is relevant both to the Queen Anne Revival and to the Arts and Crafts movement.

"[5] The building is one of eighteen elegant contiguous red-brick houses built in the late 1870s, adjacent to the Chelsea Physic Garden by notable architects of the day.

[2] In 1892, the journal The British Architect hailed Swan House and its neighbours as "some of the finest specimens of modern domestic architecture in London.

[2][11] Shaw designed the lower part of the building in the Queen Anne Revival style popular during the Victorian Era.

[1] Flower also bought two pieces from his good friend, American expatriate artist James Whistler — Sweet Shop - Note in Orange and Sun Cloud — to display in his home.
