Doughty House, Grade II listed building in Richmond Hill, England.
Doughty House features a main residence and a 125-foot gallery connected by Doughty Cottage, situated on a hill with views over the River Thames.
Elizabeth Doughty resided in the house from 1786, leading to its naming and her subsequent funding of St Elizabeth of Portugal Church in Richmond.
Francis Cook transformed the property into an art collection showcase in 1885 with the construction of a dedicated gallery displaying numerous European masterworks.
The property at 142 Richmond Hill currently remains vacant and requires substantial renovation work, with preservation efforts monitored by Richmond upon Thames authorities.
The view from Richmond Hill where Doughty House stands holds protection through an Act of Parliament, marking it as the sole legally protected vista in England.
