GV
II*
Terrace town house. c.1724. Stuccoed brick and stone with rusticated ground floor, slate roof. Three storeys, basement and dormered attic. Five windows wide, symmetrical about doorway. Stone doorcase with three-quarter Doric columns, mutule pediment and archivolt on imposts. Revealed glazing bar sashes in architrave surrounds, the ground floor with reinstated sashes (1970s). The first floor window heads have alternating segmental and straight pediments. Stone mutule cornice above second floor with blocking course. Stone balustrade to basement area.

Interior retains fine original work: panelling, doorcases, to ground floor hall with 3 bay arcade; ground floor right hand room retains marble Corinthian pilasters to chimneypiece wall; marble chimney piece with original minor and ornamental painting in gilded festooned Rococo frame. Upper floors altered after fire damage. Part of Lord Scarborough's Hanover Square development but conforming to the West End town house elevational style of the period rather than to the predominantly German look of its neighbours.

Georgian London; John Summerson.
