Grosvenor House

Grosvenor House was one of the largest townhouses in London, home of the Grosvenor family for more than a century. Their original London residence was on Millbank, but after the family had developed their Mayfair estates, they moved to Park Lane to build a house worthy of their wealth, status and influence in the 19th century. The house gave its name to Upper Grosvenor Street and Grosvenor Square. The house was requisitioned during the First World War, and was sold and demolished in the 1920s. The Grosvenor House Hotel was built on its site.

93 Park Lane

93 Park Lane is a Grade I listed house in Park Lane, Mayfair, London W1. It was Grade I listed in 1958. Together with no 94, it was rebuilt on a speculative basis in 1823–25 by Samuel Baxter, and replaced the then King's Head pub at the corner and the previous No. 24 Upper Grosvenor Street. The new house was initially called No. 1 Grosvenor Gate, and was bought by the politician Wyndham Lewis for £14,000 in February 1827. Lewis had married Mary Anne, daughter of John Evans, in 1816. They had no children, and he died in 1838, and left his wife a life interest in the house. In 1839, she married the future Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, and they lived there until her death in 1872. Later residents include Thomas Agar-Robartes, 6th Viscount Clifden from 1889 to 1896, and Arthur Hornby Lewis, iron-master, from 1900 to 1926. The Grosvenor Estate purchased the lease in 1931, and it has been offices since 1936.
