16:31 What a lovely treat this video is with heartfelt comments from primary sources, scholars and fans. And it’s wonderful to see and hear Patt Morrison! I love everything she writes about Los Angeles and I have two of her books.

In 2005, we had a beautiful colonial revival home in Seattle built in 1920, all original mint condition, with plaster walls, picture rails, generous Northwest millwork, glass doorknobs and a huge Batchelder tiled fireplace. I had a fire going almost every night, because I had never lived in an area before where it got cold, but also so I could gaze not only at the fire, but also at the beautiful Batchelder tile relief surround.

What neighborhood was it, if you don’t mind my asking? I know of Batchelder fireplaces in Wallingford and Queen Anne. Curious of others.

@@shespeakssoftly Mount Baker neighborhood in Seattle overlooking Lake Washington. The street is Cascadia.

Dr. Winter died on Feb. 9 at the age of 94. A sad and huge loss for Pasadena and the Arts & Crafts community, although at the same time a wonderful life to be celebrated and remembered.

We love our Batchelder fireplace in our modest Northern California home.

Ridiculously loud background jazz. Thank goodness it was not throughout the video. Sad that this hasn’t been shared / found more online

IYsd wonderful informative video. Some close ups and more images would add more value to this video.

I"m afraid this was too short and somewhat misleading. Pasadena was NOT the center of the Arts and Crafts Movement by any means although there was importance in regards to architecture. Before Batchelder wrote anything in The Craftsman Magazine he had written articles in the Inland Printer that later were published as Principles of design, a book that equals Dow's Composition in importance. He was rather late for the A&C Movement and continued to produce till the early 30's. Bob Winter was an amazing man full of humor, secrets and knowledge. In the end I'm glad the video was Ade and agree with Ann's last comments.
