Howard Pyle Studios
History
Pyle's interest in English history was reflected in the 1883 studio, which was built in a style variously described as Tudor Revival, Queen Anne style, or "Shavian Manorial", because of its similarity to works by English architect Richard Norman Shaw. The original studio was set back eighty feet from the street and has a steeply pitched roof. One gable forms the main facade of the studio framing the entry porch and a triple casement window.
The brick studio school was built in 1900 in a similar style. It fronts on the street and occupies the south side of the property. Pyle's students attended at no charge. A total of 75 students attended between 1900 and 1911, including N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Harvey Dunn, Stanley Arthurs, and George Harding.
