Title
Houses in Brunswick Square
Description
View looking north-east to a terrace of four-storey houses with basements at 31-40 Brunswick Square, Bloomsbury. The houses are fronted with spear top railings and stepped paths. The first floors are lined with lattice balconies and a cornice runs the length of the third floor. Number 34 features a stucco ground floor and bay windows to the third floor. Number 40 has already been demolished. A construction worker can be seen near the debris while another is by the street barriers erected across from number 33. Two pedestrians walk past. Brunswick Square was constructed in the late eighteenth century by James Burton as part of the Foundling Hospital Estate. The terrace served as private residents, including for several governors and a vice-president of the Foundling Hospital. The terrace was demolished soon after the capture of this view and replaced with the University College London's School of Pharmacy. Number 40 was rebuilt in 1937 and is currently serving as the Foundling Museum. It is Grade II listed, listing number 1272392.
