The four houses now comprising Hinde House were erected in 1790-94 years.
No. 13 and the adjoining buildings at 9, 10 and 11 Jacob’s Wells Mews were a corset factory in 1917. The factory was later extended to include No. 14 (Hinde House), the former home of the owner of the Hinde Estate.
In 1933–4 the developer Henry Brandon remodelled the buildings, together with Nos 16, 17 and 18 Thayer Street and 12 Jacob’s Well Mews. He retained the name Hinde House for the whole development, which comprises flats, shops, showrooms and garaging. In the mews, Brandon’s architects Alfred and Vincent Burr added mansard floors and imposed a half-timbered look, with leaded-light windows. On Hinde Street, covered ironwork balconies were removed, and a new canopied entrance was created.
The novelist Rose Macaulay (1881-1958) spent the last years of her life in flat 20 at Hinde House, where she is commemorated by a blue plaque.
