North front of Bedford House, Bloomsbury Square, London, 19th century (1907). Artist: Howlett

North front of Bedford House, Bloomsbury Square, London, 19th century (1907). Bedford House was originally known as Southampton House, and was the residence of the Earl of Southampton, who laid out the square in the late 17th century. The house passed to the Dukes of Bedford by marriage in the 18th century. The Duke moved out in the early 19th century as the square lost its fashionable status and the house was demolished and replaced by terraced houses. A print from The History of the Squares of London Topographical and Historical by E Beresford Chancellor, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner and Co Ltd, London, 1907.
