🤓 Fun Facts
From 1901 the manor served as Ealing’s public library—Soane’s house became a book stack before its modern restoration.
Soane sold Pitzhanger in 1810, barely five years after completing it; the house is both manifesto and brief fling.
Top-lit rooms here prefigure the lighting strategy that made Dulwich Picture Gallery a model for later museums.
