This house on Laurel Grove in Bournville was designed by architect William Alexander Harvey. Originally it was a local bath house for nearby residents. At the time many people didn't have a bath in their home so would use a local facility such as this. However, many of the houses in Bournville included a sunken bath in the floor below a sort of trap door cover, usually in the kitchen (bathrooms came later), this resulted it there not being a significant demand for this bath house so it was converted into a residential home quite early on.
