visit the artists’ studio

Henry’s studio is located at the famous Fenway Studios Cooperative.

Fenway Studios
30 Ipswich Street
Boston, MA 02215

Fenway Studios was built in 1905 after a fire destroyed the Harcourt Studios on Irvington Street in Boston. The artists in that building lost their life’s work. This event galvanized business and civic leaders, including members of the Copley Society and the St. Botolph Club, to help rebuild space for Boston’s artist community as quickly as possible.

The new building was designed so that every one of the 46 studios would have north-facing windows, 12 feet high. The interior plan, with 14-foot high ceilings, was inspired by the 19th century ateliers in Paris, where many of the original artists had studied. The building, which is Arts & Crafts style with clinker brick exterior, is located at 30 Ipswich Street in Boston.

Fenway Studios is a National Historic Landmark building. It is the oldest purpose-built structure in the country constructed for and dedicated solely to artists’ space. The Studios are also the first in the country to pioneer a not-for-profit limited-equity form of ownership.

The building is open to the public one weekend a year for the annual Open Studios.
