NOTES: These two houses are all that remain of six large mansions, which were built in a U-shape around a central courtyard. Their design was based on the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. They were converted into offices in the late twentieth century.
NOTES: Designed originally to be a ten-storey structure of which only the first five floors were built. The store was damaged by fire in the 1992 riots and restored by Feil & Paradice and converted into a library for the Southwestern Law School.
NOTES: In 1829 Basevi was appointed as Surveyor to the Trustees of Smith's Charity at Brompton and to the adjoining Thurloe estate. When in 1832 the bankruptcy of some tenant nurserymen freed eight acres for development, he worked with the builder James Bonnin between 1833 and 1845 to develop Pelham Crescent, Pelham Place, part of Pelham Street and Egerton Crescent.
NOTES: With more space being required the East India Company acquired the buildings either side of their existing headquarters in the 1790s, planning to reface their existing building and extend to either side. The Company Surveyor, Richard Jupp, was in charge of the work and at the time was thought to be the designer, but the elevation had been provided by Henry Holland and after Jupp's death in April 1799 Holland completed the building. This drawing is part of a volume of 101 leaves containing details of interior decoration, chiefly chimneypieces and mouldings, compiled in Holland's office after 1801.
