		Belgrave Square, the centrepiece of late Georgian Londonâs smartest and most fashionable development, was laid out from 1825 onwards by a consortium of Swiss born bankers (one of whom was a Governor of the Bank of England), the builder Thomas Cubitt and the architect George Basevi.
		From the beginning, tenants from the very highest social order were sought and no expense was spared in wooing them either in the layout of the square (which covers 10 acres) or in the construction of the flanking terraces.
		Basevi, the houseâs architect, was a highly competent late Georgian designer, trained in the office of Sir John Soane and best remembered today for being Disraeliâs cousin and the designer of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

		There is a striking contrast between the confidence and success of the museum's building projects up to the mid-twentieth century and the hesitancy and indecision that has marked its architectural development from then until now.
		When the original building, designed by George Basevi and C.R. Cockerell, opened in 1848, its spacious opulence set a new standard for museum architecture and the display of works of art.
		The building was cheap--it cost only 100,000 [pound sterling]--and serviceable, in that it gave the museum a much-needed new library and a gallery for temporary exhibitions, but in architectural terms it was an anticlimax, its pallid brick walls almost comically mean in comparison with the earlier buildings.

		The place name 'Strode' is first recorded in the early thirteenth century: it has been suggested that it refers to a piece of marshy ground at the junction of the River Frome and the Slad Brook.
		However, by the early nineteenth century, the focal centre of the town had moved downhill with the development of George Street and London Road, together with Russell Street and John Street - both named in honour of Lord John Russell, M.P. for the Division.
		Mention might also be made of Sims' distinctive clock at the junction of George Street with Russell Street and the statue in Rowcroft commemorating clothing manufacturer, social reformer and M.P. George Holloway, who is credited with introducing powered sewing machines into Britain.

		Architect George Stephen explains basic design principles and architectural styles, tells how to protect unique details during the restoration process, how to select an architect, choose appropriate materials and colors, revive windows, doors, porches and other details; restore interiors from ceiling to floor; and save energy through simple modifications.
		Such a client was not easy for the architect, especially prior to the formalization of the profession in the nineteenth century.
		When that did happen, and an architect such as George Basevi could be appointed for the overall design of large numbers of grand houses ‑ such as those comprising most of Belgrave Square ‑ the resulting residences lacked the individuality of the aristocrat's private palace, no matter how opulent the furnishings.

		The position and size of the new pavilion is based on a drawing by Basevi showing a pair of wings in outline, though it could be argued that, by indicating such small wings, set so far back, he was simply showing his distaste for any additions at all.
		Designed in 1834 by George Basevi (1794-1845), the pupil and protégé of Sir John Soane, it is a great, free-standing temple to the arts, approached through a massive Corinthian portico.
