Dudley House, Townhouse in Mayfair, London
Dudley House is a three-story townhouse with a basement and dormered attic on Park Lane, featuring nine windows across the front and stuccoed exterior walls. An entrance section with a stone colonnade of coupled Ionic columns forms a portico supporting a first-floor balcony.
Architect William Atkinson carried out a reconstruction between 1827 and 1828, incorporating parts of an older eighteenth-century house into the new structure. The rebuild brought the current form with portico entrance and neoclassical interior rooms.
The building displays gilded plasterwork ceilings inside that reflect the Graeco-Roman taste of the 1820s. Original eighteenth-century fireplaces remain throughout the rooms.
The house sits on Park Lane in Mayfair and remains closed to the public as a private residence. The location allows a walk along the street to view the facade and entrance section from outside.
The balcony balustrade carries decorative wrought ironwork that points to the detail craftsmanship of the late Georgian period. This metalwork adds another layer of design to the stone portico.
