Edward Shepherd (died 1747) was a prominent London-based English architect and developer in the Georgian period. == Architectural work == Shepherd worked on the following projects, among others: * Cannons, a house for James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos (1673–1744), in Middlesex (1723–25, now demolished). * Houses in Cavendish Square, London (1724–28). * Great Stanmore Rectory, Middlesex (1725). * Houses in Brook Street, London (1725–29). * Houses in St James's Square, London (1726–8), including No. 4, the Naval & Military Club and a former home of Nancy Astor from 1912 to 1942. * Palace-fronted buildings for the 1st Duke of Chandos in Grosvenor Square, London (c1728–30, now demolished). * Goodman's Fields Theatre, Ayliffe Street, Whitechapel, London (opened October 1732, demolished in 1746). * Theatre Royal, now the location of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London (opened December 1732, destroyed by fire 1808). * Development of Shepherd Market and adjoining streets in Mayfair, London (1735–46). * Houses in South Audley Street, Mayfair, London (1736–37). * Work on De Grey Mausoleum, Church of St John the Baptist, Flitton, Bedfordshire (1739–40). Unfortunately, much of Shepherd's architectural work has been demolished, but perhaps his greatest legacy of the eponymous Shepherd Market, which is now a highly desirable location. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Shepherd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
