The Albert Ball Memorial Homes were erected in 1922 in Lenton, Nottingham, England. They were commissioned by Alderman Albert Ball as a memorial to his son, Albert Ball, a fighter pilot who was killed in World War I.
The homes, designed by architect Arthur Brewill, were built to resemble an aircraft, with the eight residences representing the wings and the central porch resembling a cockpit. The two center homes had unique curved doors, windows, and walls that fit the aviation theme. The windows on the row were designed to resemble propellers. The homes were also designed with the comfort and accessibility of the elderly in mind.
The Albert Ball Memorial Homes were listed as a Grade II* Listed Building in 1995, recognizing their architectural and historical significance.
In front of the memorial homes stands the Lenton War Memorial, which includes Albert Ball's name. The war memorial was also funded by the Ball family.
