The Blacksmith and Copper Shop
1902The
Blacksmith Shop was expanded to include the handcrafting of copper under
the direction of Karl Kipp and Walter Jennings. For several years the
front room served as Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft Bank. The building was
converted to a show and sales room in the 1920's. |
 |
The Roycroft Campus Corporation (RCC) purchased this building in April
2005 with plan to restore and develop educational and interpretive programming.
The Shop features Roycroft Artisan items for display and sale, classes,
printing press demonstrations and tours. The administrative offices of
RCC are also located here. Visit www.roycroftcampuscorporation.com

Foundry and Shipping Building
1922The
large cinder-block building behind the copper shop was built as a
warehouse and shipping addition and was originally connected to the
furniture shop. It also served as a foundry division of the copper shop.
Later the attached garages were built and used to house the many
Roycroft vehicles. |
