Pushkin House ((ロシア語:Пушкинский Дом)) is a Registered Charity owned and run by the Pushkin House Trust. It supports and promotes the splendour, richness and beauty of Russian culture in London and beyond. ==The building== 5 Bloomsbury Square as we see it today was built c.1703 as part of the estate of the Earl of Southampton. It was altered substantially by architect Henry Flitcroft in the 1740s; Flitcroft added the Palladian façade. In many respects, 5 Bloomsbury Square is a perfect example of Georgian architecture and retains the vast part of its original features. From 1704 until his death in 1714, 5 Bloomsbury Square was the home of John Radcliffe, physician to King William III and Queen Anne. For much of the nineteenth century 5 Bloomsbury Square was occupied by solicitors including Frederick Turner, Charles Ford and Abraham Moses Cohen. By 1888 it was occupied by the architect Arthur Beresford Pite (1861-1934). Pite became a renowned professor at the Royal College of Art and at the School of Architecture in Cambridge. Architects continued to be housed at 5 Bloomsbury Square throughout the 20th century. Other resident organizations have included the Deaf and Dumb Females Asylum (1908), The Society of Genealogists (1922), The Royal Society of St. George (1922), the Brazilian Information Bureau (1938), the Ada Coleman Memorial Stables (1946). 5A Bloomsbury Square was purchased by the Pushkin House Trust in 2005, then thoroughly renovated and restored to a state perhaps not seen since the 18th century. 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「Pushkin House (London)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
