Moray Lodge was built in 1817. It was occupied by Arthur James Lewis of the silk mercers' firm of Lewis and Allen from 1862. His social gatherings attracted notable guests including Thackeray, Trollope and Leighton. By the time of this photograph DJ Pullinger was resident here. Moray Lodge was requisitioned during the Second World War and was demolished in 1955 to make way for the building of Holland Park School. The Bedford Lemere daybook records Goldsmith in the architects column, probably referring to work carried out on the interior of the house.
