Place & story

A later addition to the entrance

Soho House is dated to about 1830 by the architectural inventory, with its cast-iron porch and balcony added around 1860. French doors upstairs open onto the balcony. Below, double entrance doors with octagonal panels are framed by sidelights and a fanlight. Sash windows, corner quoins and a hipped slate roof complete the main house, while outbuildings stand behind it to the north. [2]
