General description and date of structure.
On 1st November, 1776, a lease[[745]] was also granted of the fourth house from Bedford Street, on the west side of the square. This was evidently No. 31.
The screen between the vestibule and hall has an ornamental fanlight; the stone stairs have wrought-iron scroll balusters and the wood work generally has enriched mouldings.
The front room on the ground floor contains a white marble chimneypiece, with Ionic pilasters, and is inlaid with coloured marble.
The rear room on the same floor has a wood and composition ornamental chimneypiece, with coupled columns at the sides, and a decorative panel in the frieze.
The ceiling of the front room on the first floor is a remarkable example of ornamental plaster work. Another of the same design is in No. 47, and is illustrated on Plate 101.
The rear room on the same floor has a white marble chimneypiece, with green marble inlay, and a well designed plaster ceiling with four square panels containing oval plaques forming part of the design (Plate 88). Another of almost similar pattern is in No. 41, Bedford Square.
