Lot Essay

Norfolk House, at 31 St James's Square, London, was built in 1722 for the Duke of Norfolk. It was a royal residence, when Frederick, Prince of Wales, father of George III, lived there 1737-1741. George III was born in the house, which was offered to the royal couple by the 9th Duke of Norfolk. The house remained in the ownership of the Dukes of Norfolk until 1938 when it was pulled down.
