For the fourth stop of
For the fourth stop of this six-part virtual road trip, we’ll adventure into the awe-inspiring estate and studio of Adelia Armstrong Lutz. Designed specifically for her to meet her vision for a creative space, Lutz’s grand studio features cathedral ceilings, an impressive skylight, a fireplace, and over 30 of her original artworks.
Lutz also designed several architectural elements for her home including painted fireplace tiles and frescoed walls. As we tour Historic Westwood, we’ll discover not only Lutz’s creative practice and lifelong commitment to local arts but the site’s ongoing preservation efforts.
ABOUT THE HAHS VIRTUAL ROAD TRIP 2023
Fueled by the James Castle House and the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios (HAHS) program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this six-part, monthly series ventures deep into the museums and preserved spaces that nurtured the creation of thousands of American artworks. Join us as we travel across the USA (virtually) from California to New York to discover the environments, architecture, and private landscapes of six different artists and the spaces that supported their art-making practices.
ABOUT HISTORIC WESTWOOD
Historic Westwood is the home, studio, and gallery of prominent East Tennessee artist, Adelia Armstrong Lutz (1859-1931) and her husband John Edwin Lutz. Built in 1890, the couple commissioned one of Knoxville’s best-known architectural firms, Baumann Brothers, to design Westwood. This resulted in an impressive Queen Anne-style house with Richardsonian Romanesque accents in stone. A rare aspect of the design was Lutz’s painting studio and art gallery, by far the grandest room in the house. Today, Westwood showcases over thirty of the artist’s works along with family memorabilia.
