The facade of the house now rests in the Victoria and Albert museum (London)
The façade of Sir Paul Pindar’s house is an outstanding survival of a London timber-framed house built before the Great Fire of 1666. It was built in around 1599 by Paul Pindar (1565?–1650), a wealthy merchant and diplomat who was knighted in 1620 by James I, and

This facade certainly stood out among the others. Very ornate and elegant in a sturdy way.
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy 400 years old. A worthy museum piece.
ReplyDeleteIt's mind boggling to see Darran Hughes. If I ever should be so lucky as to visit England, I know I will be visiting the Victoria & Albert Museum, top of the want list too. I loved all the drawings you show of it also. I noted some had it looking a bit different, artest licence or remodels do you think?
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers the building has changed so much over the 400 years. A quick google of Paul Pindars house (images) will reveal the house changing over the century’s.
ReplyDeleteIf you do go to London have a peak at the Natural History Museum.
Gotcha Darran Hughes, and Natural History Museum sounds like the second half of the week there will be full too. lol Perhaps I need to daydream a longer vacation there. : )
