Turner House

This building of 1888 was designed to show off the art collection of James Pyke Thompson, a flour-milling magnate, who lived next door in a grand house called Redlands (later renamed Roxburgh House).

​

Edwin Seward, who later designed the Morgan Arcade in Cardiff, was the architect. 

​

Thompson left the building and his art collection (including several works by JMW Turner) to the town of Penarth in his will.
