'Garden Front of Northumberland House', (1881). Northumberland House, built between 1605 and 1609, was a large Jacobean townhouse, so called because it was the London residence of the Percy family, who were the Earls and later Dukes of Northumberland. It stood at the far western end of the Strand until its demolition in 1874. In its later years the house overlooked Trafalgar Square.
