| Notes: | The house in Portland Place is No 27 (the south end of that terrace in Portland Place for which an R&J Adam elevation survives, the central house of which was designed by them for Viscount Stormont, nephew of the Earl of Manfield, who succeeded to that title as well). Because the house is entered from its south side in New Cavendish Street its formal address is 71 New Cavendish Street. (Information courtesy of Frank Kelsall) |
