@johndavidgusman & @tyneoconnell one again celebrate the sitty downy lift created by #samuelcourtauld for his invalid wife in 1909 Back in the days when Home House was the Courtauld Institute before that of course this building walls the home of #LadyHome - pronounced “Hume” I believe? built by #robertadams in the 1760’s when London was really #swinging & next door at 22 Portmansquare #elizabethmontagu as #queenoftheblues #bluestockings as #lordbyron declared her. #angelicakauffman #ignatiussancho #gainsborough et al (at Home House)

Happy birthday Mrs Taylor #kokotaylor #blueshalloffame #grammys #queenoftheblues #wangdangdoodle #blues (at Millington, Tennessee)

Out but not down @homehouselondon home to @dandies @poets @dandizettes & luminaries of The Arts & Sciences since the Regency Salons of the 1700's hosted here when #ElizabethMontague whom #lordbyron declared #queenoftheblues moved her Salon from #hillstreet mayfair to 22 #portmansquare & had every wall & ceiling painted by #angelicakauffman R.A. Apart from her drawing room which was lined in peacock feathers....the secret staircases & hidden rooms & underground passages that lead all the way through #mayfair to #stjames's #palace add to the air of scandal & mystery that permeates the grandeur of #RobertAdams @katia_sergeeva @tyneoconnell #robindutt (at Home House)
