20 UPPER BROOK STREET MAYFAIR LONDON W1 HISTORY OF THE HOUSE No. 20 was sub-leased in 1737 to William Atlee, painter, with the carpenter John Simmons as party to the lease. The house still has its old plan, with a front-compartment staircase in wood (much renewed and altered) ascending to the first floor, where the ceiling over the stair, like that in the ground floor front room, retains Georgian plasterwork. The second floor also exhibits much original panelling. The process of additions and alterations seems to have started by the early nineteenth century, when the present door case with fanlight and the stucco on the front had probably already been added. In 1854 rear additions were made, and in 1865-6 the house was raised a storey, and the regulation porch, window dressings and balcony were added to designs by Thomas Cundy II. Thomas Bellamy, architect for the tenant, Sir John Boileau, added kitchens under the garden. In 1875 the builder Charles Fish acquired an interest in the house and made other changes. Yet further works in 1887 for W.H Fellowes M.P, who in that year became the second Lord De Ramsey, were carried out by A. and E. Braid with J. Sargeant, surveyor. They probably included the present attic storey and perhaps also (as there were special outlays ) the startling backdrop in stone and stucco that separated the house from the mews buildings at the back of the garden. More recent changes to the house were undertaken for Lady Hood, for whom a small back extension was made on the ground floor to create a larger dining room. Modern day improvements include the installation of a lift, the creation of a 12m pool and the repositioning of the kitchen to ground floor level.
