Strip away the stone dressings and what remains could almost be a spacious house of Georgian proportions. Built 1890 by John Brydon. It has a semi-circular porch with Ionic columns, arched windows with Gibbs surrounds, and more stone trim on the upper floors. Grade II* listed. I think it's now part of the Chelsea College of Art and Design.
