Following its completion in 1804, Sir John Soane used Pitzhanger Manor as a weekend retreat and a place of entertainment until he sold it in 1810. In 1843 it became home to the daughters of Britain's only assassinated Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval. In 1901, the building was sold to Ealing District Council and extended to become a public library. In 1985 it was converted into a museum.
