General terms
Architecture, buildings and places
The Glass House, Fulham
The Glass House building was a "purpose-built stained-glass studio and workshop" for stained glass artists in Fulham, London. Having gone into partnership in 1896, Mary Lowndes and Alfred Drury had The Glass House built in 1906 for use by independent stained glass artists.
History
Lowndes and Drury
The Glass House was established at 9, 10, 11 and 12 Lettice Street in Fulham by Mary Lowndes and A.J. Drury as a stained glass studio in 1906. It is a two storey building, with paired windows on the ground floor and tall, segmental headed studio windows on the first floor; the lighting was good for stained glass work. Four gabled main bays are found in the building. The exterior is faced with stock brick, the porch is a corniced and pilastered Doric style. The pitched roof is tiled.
Christopher Whall and Alfred Drury designed the building, built in 1906, that became a centre for prominent stained glass artists. The official architect was Charles Henry Bourne Quennell.
Lowndes designed, coloured and created Art Nouveau stained glass works. She groomed many women stained glass designers and artists, such as Wilhelmina Geddes. The artists could leverage the skills of other artists at the studio and yet obtain their own commissions. Drury particularly focused on the creation of stained glass pieces. Together they commissioned for design, painting and creation projects.
The Glass House (2001 film)
The Glass House is a 2001 American mystery thriller film directed by Daniel Sackheim and written by Wesley Strick. The film stars Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane, Stellan Skarsgård, Bruce Dern, Kathy Baker, Trevor Morgan, and Chris Noth.
The film received generally negative reviews and was a box office bomb grossing merely $23 million on a $30 million production budget. The main reason cited for the financial failure of the film was the fact that the film was released 3 days after the September 11 attacks.
Plot
Sixteen-year-old Ruby (Leelee Sobieski) and 11-year-old Rhett (Morgan) lose their parents in a car accident. Their parents' will is not a recent one but, in accordance with its terms, the children are placed under the guardianship of family neighbors from some years back, the childless couple Erin (Diane Lane) and Terry (Stellan Skarsgård) Glass, who live in a large glass house in Malibu.
There are early indications that all is not well. The children have to share a room; they are no longer educated privately; Rhett is allowed to play with games consoles at all times; and Ruby is made uneasy by Terry's sexual hints when they are alone. Ruby comes across unlabeled pharmaceuticals and sees Erin injecting herself, though the couple claim this is for diabetes. Ruby tries without success to get the children's estate and trust fund lawyer to accept her concerns, and a visiting social worker is taken in by the Glass's assurances.
