Description
Hogarth House at numbers 32-34 Paradise Road, also known at times as Suffield House and sometimes existing as two distinct properties, is best known as the home of Leonard and Virginia Woolf between 1915 and 1924, during which time they founded the Hogarth Press and hand produced sixteen of the Press's original publications. An English Heritage Blue Plaque was erected in 1976 in commemoration. The building is mid-eighteenth century and and was Grade II listed in 1968, listing number 1357753. It is believed to be in use today as a private dwelling following substantial interior refurbishment. This view, partly obscured by trees and shrubs, shows the rear (north) elevation of the building from an overgrown garden. There appear to be the remains of a bonfire in the foreground and the stack of steel beer barrels to the right of view. The building had been used by the Richmond and Barnes Conservative Association, prior to moving to new offices on the other side of Paradise Road.
