Chesterfield House, Westminster
Former grand London townhouse in Mayfair
About
Chesterfield House was a grand London townhouse built between 1747 and 1752 by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694–1773), statesman and man of letters. The exterior was in the Palladian style, the interior Baroque. It stood in Mayfair on the north side of Curzon Street, between South Audley Street and what is now Chesterfield Street. It was demolished in 1937 and on its site now stands a block of flats of the same name.
The French travel writer Pierre-Jean Grosley in his book Londres (1770, translated as Tour to London) considered the house to be equal to the hotels particuliers of the nobility in Paris.
