Schomberg House

[edit]

Hi TonyTheTiger, good to know you're still watching your good templates as there aren't enough of us who page watch numerous templates. Schomberg House seems accurate. See its first mention for the inclusion of addresses, as its page says that "In 1769 it was divided into three (80 Pall Mall to the west, 81 in the centre and 82 to the east) by the artist John Astley." It goes on to mention the residents of each of the three, including the brothel. Gainsborough is listed at 80 Pall Mall for his final fourteen years, 1774 to 1788 (sadly, 80 Pall Mall was demolished in 1850, although a replica was later made). I added the link not only because of his residence but because somewhere there is a mention that he also used it for his studio. The page should be made clearer, or maybe I'm wrong (please take a look to confirm for both of us). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:33, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
