This square and its housing is the most substantial part of the grand design for De Beauvoir Town to have been completed. As originally planned in the 1820s, the Town was to be a development of housing for the wealthy, laid out in a series of squares and avenues. The scheme was never finished due to land ownership problems. History on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Beauvoir_Town
