Gallery and Manor-House history In 1800, the architect John Soane purchased Pitzhanger Manor-House. At this stage in his illustrious career, as architect and surveyor to the Bank of England and with public buildings and private house to his credit, Soane intended to build his 'dream' house - his own country villa, to be used subsequently as a 'suitable' residence for his sons. Soane demolished most of the existing manor, apart from an extension designed in 1768 by his first employer, George Dance. www.ealing.gov.uk /services/leisure/museums_and_galleries/pm_gallery_and_house/history   (440 words)

The Breakfast Room. (Breakfast Room in 12 Lincoln's Inn Soane created a second version of this vault (bearing very similar painted decoration and detail) in the library of his suburban retreat of Pitzhanger Manor, Ealing in 1800-01. Presumably it was at least occasionally used, as shown in the Gandy perspective, for family breakfast and as a library and study, as suggested by the presence of bookcases and a desk in front of the window (this desk survives, now placed between the ground floor windows in the library of number 13). But it is known that Soane used his almost contemporary domed and sky-painted Library at Pitzhanger Manor as a repository for some of his collection of antiquities, while the domed and top-lit Breakfast Room he was to create in 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields after 1812 was used for interviews and as a waiting room. www.encyclopedia.com /doc/1G1-17406261.html   (2244 words)

Confederacy of a Dunce - The Soane Trail Pitzhanger Manor, on the other hand, was not similarly preserved.

After visiting Pitzhanger House we had an excellent dinner at Taqueria, a new Mexican restaurant in west London which seems to go a long way toward answering concerns about the dire lack of authentic (and/or interesting) Mexican food in London (and we're not the only ones to complain). newpics.org /david/TheSoaneTrail.aspx   (520 words)

Walls and bridges And it was a very strange building: a mixture of 14th century, 16th century and 19th century architecture, it has been in its time a council flat, a country manor and an unoccupied building in need of serious repair.

Designed by John Soane, who created the original Bank of England, Pitzhanger is a stunning house set in the equally gorgeous surroundings of Walpole Park. joelm1-joelmead.blogspot.com   (1551 words)
