Lansdowne House (Holland Park)

Lansdowne House is a Grade II listed eight-storey building on Lansdowne Road, Holland Park in London, constructed in 1902–04 by Scottish architect William Flockhart,^[1] for South African mining magnate Sir Edmund Davis. The building contained apartments and artists' workshops. Among the artists who had studios in the building in the early decades of the 20th century were Charles Ricketts, Charles Haslewood Shannon, Glyn Philpot, Vivian Forbes, James Pryde, and Frederick Cayley Robinson, who are commemorated on a blue plaque on the building.^[2]

Since 1923, the building has undergone a number of alterations and eventually consisted of 13 self-contained apartments plus a very large basement. Lansdowne House was Grade II listed in 1969.^[3]
