Casa Guildford con banderas durante el Jubileo de oro en 2002

Casa Guildford es una casa historica que se encuentra en 155 High Street, Guildford, Surrey, Inglaterra. Construida en 1660, hoy en dia, la casa es un museo municipal y una galleria de arte.

Historia[edit]

La casa contiene parte de la colleccion de arte de Guildford borough] incluyendo la colleccion mas grande de retratos de pastel hechos por el artista John Russell, RA (1745–1806). Guildford House hosts changing exhibitions throughout the year. In June 2009 Guildford House, along with Guildford Museum, Guildford's Guildhall and Guildford Castle were brought together and run collectively as 'Guildford Heritage'.

The house is a grade I listed building in part for having many original features including a carved staircase, panelled rooms, decorative plaster ceilings and wrought iron window fittings. A second reason for its listing, in the top category, is its timber-framed basic structure, which is clad to the front in painted wood and to the rear in mathematical tiles and tile-hanging.[1]
