10, Buckingham Street Wc2

No. 10 Buckingham Street is a terraced town house built around 1675-76, with some alterations from the late 18th century and early 19th century. It is part of Barbon's development of the York House estate. The building features a stucco-faced brick exterior, except for a later brick attic storey, and has a concealed roof. It stands four storeys tall with a basement and is three windows wide.

The entrance is located to the right, featuring a panelled door set back in a doorcase supported by rusticated Doric pilasters and topped with a triglyph entablature. The cornice-hood has been reduced due to the addition of a bay window on the upper floors. The ground floor has flush framed plate glass sash windows with key blocks above the arches. The first and second floors boast a full-width canted bay window with architraved glazing bar sashes and a cornice above. The attic storey has recessed sashes under flat gauged arches, and the building is topped with a parapet featuring coping. Wrought iron area railings with pommelled vase finials complete the exterior.

Inside, despite some alterations, the house retains many original features. The staircase separates the front and back rooms, with a rear closet wing. The passage hall has bolection panelling and a moulded cornice. Originally, the hall and front room were likely one open space, as indicated by a fluted column embedded in the panelled wall that now screens the staircase from the front room. The staircase itself has an interesting design with a narrow open well, foliate carved cut strings, three twisted balusters per tread, a ramped carved handrail, and newels formed by clusters of four similar balusters. The basement flight of stairs has heavy turned balusters. The main rooms on the upper floors are panelled, and the first-floor rooms feature early 18th-century chimney pieces with eared, egg and dart architraves and marble slips, along with a good fluted cast iron late 18th-century basket grate in the rear room.

Notably, David Hume and Jean Jacques Rousseau lodged here in 1766.
