Barnett Homestead
The Barnett Homestead is a grade II listed building in Erskine Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, in north London, England. Designed by architect John Soutar, the building comprises 12 apartments intended for soldiers' widows and their children, and its construction was funded by shipbuilder and philanthropist Sir Alfred Yarrow in 1916. The building was given its name as a memorial to clergyman and social reformer Samuel Augustus Barnett, who was a friend of Yarrow's. It was listed in November 1996.
The building is symmetrically designed in a Georgian style, though Soutar adopted a cottage vernacular with dormer windows. A metal plaque on the west face of the south wing bears the inscription:
Barnett was married to Henrietta Barnett, who founded The Institute nearby in 1911.
