    NUMBER EIGHT HENRIETTA STREET

Number 8 was leased by Luke Gardiner to Nathaniel Clements who developed the site and sold it in 1741 to Richard St George.

The house has a shallower plan than the remaining houses on the terrace and has suffered many nineteenth and twentieth-century changes including the loss of the principal staircase. However, the building retains an early closed-string timber stair and its overall external appearance and ironmongery forming an important part of this impressive early Georgian streetscape.

It is currently owned by the Daughters Of Charity so I suppose that it is a convent or a nunnery. St. Marys Day Nursery is located here.
