History
The building was designed by John Nash and built by William Smith, being completed in 1823.[1] The building, which features ten pointed cupolas along the roof line and a façade adorned with Corinthian columns,[2] was originally built as 26 terraced houses.[1] William Crockford, the proprietor of the St James's Club in St James's Street, lived at No. 26 in the 1840s.[3]
It was acquired by the London Business School and converted for educational use in the late 1960s.[4]
