House has lease dated 28th December 1846, but this cannot have been when it was built. INTERIORS: Not inspected. HISTORY: George Street was commenced by the elder Wood in 1734, and formed the north-east limit of his Queen Square development. The land to the north of George Street was leased by the Corporation to Daniel Milsom in 1755; they agreed proposals for the development of the area in 1761 which involved the eastward extension of George St., including these houses. The original 1874 architectural drawings note that ¿The cornice 7 pillars are those taken from the old shop front in No. 1 George Street & 24 Milsom Street, the site now being used for the erection of a new bank.¿ SOURCES: (Finch G: Shopfront Record, Bath City Council: 1992 Ison W: The Georgian Buildings of Bath: Bath: 1980: 228; Cunliffe B: The City of Bath: Bath: 1986-: 126-131); Images of Bath: drawing 929 c. 1853)
