    Description

    Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January 2023, 2pm to 4pm. Tuesday at Wallace Collection; Wednesday at RIBA, 66 Portland Place Sir Richard Wallace and Robert Stayner Holford were both avid art collectors. Both men had the common ambition to build a London townhouse in which to display their remarkable collections. This course explores the monumental results of Hertford House, Marylebone, and Dorchester House, Park Lane. Despite being the home of the Wallace Collection today, remarkably little is known about Hertford House. Who was the original architect, and who was the mysterious T B Ambler who secured the prestigious commission to rebuild it? Dorchester House is an even greater challenge. Demolished to make way for the famous namesake hotel in 1929, only the architect’s intricate drawings survive. Offered in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), this course combines talks, tours and guided archival study. You’ll gain an appreciation of Victorian architecture at its richest, and of the community of architects and artists that made London’s ‘Gilded Age’ a reality. Tutor: Dr Ralph St Clair Wade Please read the full course description here. Joining Information and Format: This course will take place in person both in the Library, Lower Ground Floor at the Wallace Collection (Tuesday) and in the Clore Learning Centre at RIBA, 66 Portland Place, W1B 1AD (Wednesday). The course involves some walking, and close study of archival materials.
