Roehampton House is a Grade I listed house at Roehampton Lane, Roehampton, London. It was built in 1710-12 by the architect Thomas Archer. From 1910-13, Sir Edwin Lutyens made some alterations to the main house and added north and south wings. Historic England note that these were "a continuation of the Archer style and to a plan close to Archer's original intentions", and that "the Lutyens parts would in themselves merit Grade II *".〔 Archer built Roehampton House on behalf of the merchant Thomas Cary. Cary's father John emigrated to the Colony of Virginia in 1663, and Cary was born there in 1669. Both returned to London and by 1690 were running an import and export trading business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://patrickbaty.co.uk/2012/09/21/roehampton-house/ )〕 In about 2009-13, it was converted into 24 apartments and houses by St James Homes of the Berkeley Group. ==Notable residents== * John Pearse, 1812, Governor of the Bank of England〔Gerhold ISBN 0905121058; p. 27〕 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「Roehampton House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
