At the fashionable Grosvenor Square end, eminent architects (including Colen Campbell and Jeffry Wyatt) designed grand houses for occupation by peers and politicians (including William Pitt), but Handel's house was part of a more modest terrace development by builder George Barnes at the Hanover Square end. The dog-leg staircase is disproportionately grand; since Handel took the lease before the house was completed, it may well be that he specified a large stairway, so that keyboard instruments could be carried in and out easily. http://gfhandel.org/handelhouse/getting_a_grip_on_handel.htm   (822 words)      The Handel House Museum The Museum is in the upper floors of Handel’s House, (presently numbered) 25 Brook Street, and also the upper floors of the adjoining house, 23 Brook Street.
