Formerly a terrace of four town houses, now converted into flats and offices, this Grade 2 listed terrace was built in about 1766 by the architect Thomas Ivory. The paired entrance doors feature a square-column portico and steps up with turned balustrading. Sir JE Smith (1759-1828) once lived here. He was the founder and first president of both the Linnaean Society of London in 1788 and the Norwich Museum in 1825. A plaque > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6167687 on the building commemorates him.
