Soho House
From Academic Kids
Soho House, Matthew Boulton's home in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, is now a museum (opened in 1995), managed by Birmingham City Council, celebrating his life, his partnership with James Watt and his membership of the Lunar Society.
When built, the house was adjacent to Boulton's Soho Manufactory, since demolished.
It also hosts exhibitions of local and community interest.
In the years between Boulton's leaving and the house becoming a museum, it had several uses, more recently as a residential hostel for police officers.
