hello readers, have you possibly wondered what the house on curzon street in chain of iron looks like?

well, i went down a rabbit hole last night, so here's some references.

a little background: curzon street is located in mayfair, a "villiage" of london situated between buckingham palace and hyde park; so very, very wealthy. lots of the nobility, as well as wealthy merchants had a "london house" probably in mayfair, so they had servants quarters, multiple bedrooms, libraries, parlors, etc.

mayfair townhouses from the victorian and edwardian eras- i think i recall it being a white house?

woefully only the first 3 levels- a mayfair house likely had a full basement, and then 4+ floors used by the family.

authentic curzon street house! however, this is a smaller property, and the herondale's house by description has a servants quarters, stable, and parlor.

and a bonus, here's a nice neo-edwardian parlor from a modern house.

“Father was always inventing excuses for Uncle Jem to come to them - once he had claimed a flowerpot was possessed by a demon.”
