93, PARK LANE W1

No. 93 Park Lane is a Grade I listed terraced town house, built speculatively between 1823 and 1825 by builder Samuel Baxter. The building is finished in stucco and topped with a slate roof. It has four main storeys, a basement, and a mid-19th century attic. The façade facing Park Lane features four windows, including a full-height bow with three windows, and a five-window return to Upper Grosvenor Street. The Upper Grosvenor Street side has a central entrance with a porch supported by coupled Ionic columns. The ground floor is channelled, with semicircular arched windows that have channelling struck to the arches. The upper floors of the entrance front display architraved windows with cornices on the piano nobile, where the central window is pedimented. Above the third floor and attic windows, there is a main entablature recessed between panelled chimney stacks, which appear as dies, with sections of balustrading in between. The Park Lane front also has a channelled ground floor and architraved sash windows on the upper floors, including a bow entablature returned with a balustraded parapet. A continuous cast iron balcony with a geometric pattern runs along the first floor on both fronts, complemented by spearhead and palmette pommel-finialed area railings.

Inside, the house retains notable features from its original construction, particularly the top-lit staircase with a Greek Revival iron balustrade, richly decorated in the style of Louis XV, Louis XVI, and the Adam revival of the 1870s, likely by William Wallace. The first-floor drawing room contains two statuary marble Greek Revival chimney pieces, possibly original to the house.

No. 93 served as the London residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli from 1839 to 1872, where he wrote much of his work, including "Coningsby" and "Sybil." A commemorative plaque recognizing Disraeli's association with the house was installed by the 2nd Duke of Westminster in 1913. The building is listed Grade I primarily due to its connection with Disraeli.
