Description
First-floor front room at 20 Albemarle Street, Piccadilly, part of The Royal Institution. An early nineteenth-century interior with full-height windows opening onto a balcony and a florally tiled fireplace which appears blocked in. A threadbare carpet partly covers a parquet wooden floor and there is a decorative cornice. On the mantelpiece of the fireplace various figurines and busts, some in glass cases, are arranged. Above these is a large lozenge shaped bas-relief of a bearded man's head. It commemorates Dr Ludwig Mond, FRS (1832-1909), who founded and endowed The Davy Faraday Research Laboratory in number 20 in June 1896, as part of The Royal Institution. The building is Grade II listed, listing number 1066520.
