This house was built in c.1846 on the Ladbroke Estate. Its first residents were a barrister, and later an army major who was charged with assault for defending the honour of his actress wife with a horsewhip. In 1890 it was the home of German mathematician Olaus Henrici. Residents in the 20th century included a wholesale leather dealer - a refugee from the Russian pogroms - and subsequently another refugee Jewish family from Vienna. Neighbours were suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst who lived a few doors away with her adopted 'war babies'; prison reformer Margery Fry; and Danish soprano Engel Lund and her stage partner Ferdinand Rauter.
