Description:This view of Soho House, the former home of Matthew Boulton was taken when the house was in use as a hotel. What had been Boulton's Drawing Room was used as the hotel dining room. The chimneypiece visible in this photograph is the original and matches a drawing in the Boulton and Watt archive. Some time after this photograph was taken it was removed. Fragments were found in the garden in the 1950s and a replica was made as part of the restoration of Soho House before it opened as a museum. The arched alcove was added by the Reverend Boyle when he rented the house in the 1860s so was removed during the restoration.
