EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Bridgewater House, a grand architectural masterpiece located in London, redesigned by the esteemed architect Sir Charles Barry, Esquire, R.A., in 1850. Originally known as Cleveland House, the building underwent a significant transformation, and upon completion in 1854, it was renamed for Lord Ellesmere, the heir of the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater. The edifice is constructed primarily of Bath stone, which lends an elegant and timeless quality to its appearance. The windows on the principal floor of the two fronts boast arched pediments filled with small shields bearing the intertwined monogram of the Ellesmere family, E.E. The entrance porch is a noteworthy feature, displaying clustered columns at the angles. Above the entablature, the inscription "Restauratum 1849" serves as a testament to the renovation efforts. It is reported that Lord Ellesmere's magnificent collection of pictures would be made accessible to the public, with a separate staircase arranged at the north-east corner to ensure uninterrupted privacy for the noble Earl's establishment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Bridgewater House, a stunning example of 19th-century architectural design that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
