Purpose
London: 11 Bruton Street, Westminster: designs for alterations for the Dowager Countess of Portsmouth, 1802 (3)
Notes
Soane carried out only a limited amount of work at 11 Bruton Street for the Dowager Countess of Portsmouth, judging from his bill of £10.3.0. She had moved out to 44 Harley Street by 1806. Three drawings - two surveys and one design for alterations - survive, as well as a survey drawing in the Soane Museum Archives (MBii/17). They show a three-bay town house with stables to the rear which does not survive today.
