English: The Malting House was originally exactly that: a warehouse, Oast house, and small brewery owned, in the 1830s, by the Beales family – a well-known
Cambridge trading dynasty. In 1909, the then Dean of Trinity College (Dr Stewart) bought the buildings and converted most of them into an Arts & Crafts house. The remaining buildings were converted into a small hall to host musical evenings; Albert Schweitzer gave a lecture on Bach there, and from 1955 it was the rehearsal base for the Cambridge Schools Holiday Orchestra. During the 1920s it was the Malting House School – one of the early ‘children’s community’ schools: no fixed curriculum, no discipline, and no punishments! Link Since 2003 is has been an accommodation block for Darwin College.
