Title
Houses in Queen Square
Description
A view of the garden and back of the eighteenth-century house at 20 Queen Square, Holborn, and neighbouring buildings. At the end of the garden is the four-storey house (occupied by the Chalfont House Settlement) containing early Georgian or Queen Ann architectural style features including tall ground-floor windows. Other features include railings (by the basement), chimney stacks, chimney pots, drain pipes, sash windows and windows which open inwards (a number of which are open). Decorators' ladders and a decorator can be seen through the first-floor windows. Beyond the brick wall on the right is Queen Square Place (a gas lamp can be seen in this alley) and the side of the late nineteenth-century five-storey Home for Working Boys in London and Alexandra Hospital for Children with Hip Disease at 16 Queen Square. Also in the garden is a man in a cloth cap pointing through a wooden hatch (likely the medieval Greyfriars' conduit head), flowers in wooden barrels, bushes and a tree. The house no longer exists; President Hotel, Guildford Street and UCL Institutue of Cognitive Neuroscience now occupy the site.
