This mansion in the late-Georgian style was built around 1835 as part of a major development begun after 1810 on the Marquis of Abercorn's land at Joppa. Many of the original villas, built on a formal street-plan to the north of the main road to Musselburgh, survive in what is now a prime conservation area. The street was originally called Pitt Street after the prime minister, William Pitt the Younger.
