Title
Hogarth House in Paradise Road
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 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 shows the front (south) elevation and it appears to be in use as offices, judging by the somewhat corporate-looking pair of tall topiary columns in square containers to either side of the entrance, which at the time was uncovered but a substantial porch with flat corniced roof supported by a pair of double columns has since been added. The 1970s building to the left of view has since been replaced by an office development, as has the vacant site behind the corrugated iron sheeting to the right of view. Some scaffolding can be seen beyond, suggesting work was in progress to the east elevation of the building. A suited man holding a portfolio, partly obscured, can be seen leaving the building and, partly-blurred, a woman in a white outfit and high heeled shoes can be seen walking along the pavement.
