History
[edit | edit source]In 1880, art collectors Alex and Constantine Alexander Ionides bought 15 High Wickham in Hastings, East Sussex, England. In 1882, they bought 14 High Wickham.[1] Using the land from these neighbouring properties, they built Windycroft, a house for their relative Edward Dannreuther.[1] The work started in 1883,[1] and was completed in 1891.[2] The house was constructed using red brick, and had a tiled roof.[3] The balconies contained iron balustrades.[3] The house was decorated with William Morris wallpaper designs, and William Arthur Smith Benson provided the lighting for the house.[2]
In 1892, Alexander Constantine Ionides' widow Euterpe Sgouta died at Windycroft.[4][5] Edward Dannreuther lived in the house until his death in 1905.[6] In 1911, the house was badly damaged by a fire.[1] The house was sold by the Dannreuther family in 1978.[1] In 1976, the house became a Grade II* listed building.[3]
