Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Sara Matson (Curator at Tate St Ives) on behalf of the Tate to carry out a historic building record of the Palais de Danse on Barnoon Hill, St Ives located at NGR: SW 51761 40622. In its later period of use (1961-1975) the building was owned by Barbara Hepworth who used it as a studio for working on her larger sculptures. The Tate was gifted the building from the trustees of the Dame Barbara Hepworth Will Trust in 2015. It is now the intention of the Tate to conserve and redevelop the building bringing it back into use to complement the adjacent Barbara Hepworth Museum and Tate St Ives. This historic building record was undertaken as an initial stage of the works towards repurposing the site. It has been produced to provide a better understanding of the building and to help inform a forthcoming conservation management plan as well as any future alterations or conservation works. It is hoped that the historic building record will inform any future changes to the building so that they embrace Barbara Hepworth's ideology to preserve the historic character and quality of the buildings 'on this famous corner of old St Ives' (Hepworth 1970). Although the following statement refers to her Trewyn Studios 'I want above all to keep its character and preserve its quality' (Hepworth 1970), it is quite certain that she would have wished this also for the Palais de Danse. The Palais de Danse has a long and complex history as a building in its own right. A total of eight major construction phases have been identified as a result of the recording work.
