Eight storey block of 12 flats.
In around 1900, the South African mining millionaire and patron of the arts Sir Edmund Davis acquired the two semi-detached villas that stood on the corner of Lansdowne Road and Ladbroke Road. He had them demolished and employed the Scottish architect William Flockhart to erect the present Lansdowne House as a set of studios and accommodation for artists.
A variety of other artists also lived there and benefitted from the huge north-facing windows – the blue plaque on the building lists:
Charles Ricketts 1866-1931
Charles Shannon 1863-1937
Glyn Philpot 1884-1937
Vivian Forbes 1891-1937
James Pryde 1866-1941
F. Gayley Robinson 1862-1927.
