Lansdowne House now 9 Fitzmaurice Place is the remaining part of a building to the south of Berkeley Square in central London, England, not to be confused with 57 Berkeley Square – opposite – a much later quadrilateral building which takes its name as an extra line of address. The name was for two decades Shelb(o)urne House, then its title matched its owning family's elevation to a higher peerage in 1784. It was frequently let, as a whole, to families of very high wealth or income. Some of its 18th-century interiors, among the best in London, were taken elsewhere. It was occupied by three British prime ministers, William Waldorf Astor, 1st Viscount Astor, widely believed to be the richest man in America at the time of his tenancy (1891–1893) and by Harry Gordon Selfridge in the 1920s.

  • Lansdowne House ist ein nur teilweise erhaltenes Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert im Südwesten des Berkeley Square im Stadtzentrum der britischen Hauptstadt London. Es wurde von Robert Adam als privates Stadthaus entworfen und gehörte den größten Teil seiner Nutzungszeit als Wohnhaus der Familie Petty-FitzMaurice, Marquesses of Lansdowne. Seit 1935 residiert dort der Lansdowne Club. Die Aufteilung des Anwesens war sehr ungewöhnlich: Es gab einen großen Vorgarten, der die gesamte Südseite des Platzes einnahm. Das Herrenhaus selbst zeigte mit seiner schmalen Ostfassade auf diesen Vorgarten. Dieses Arrangement eröffnete dem südlich davon am Piccadilly gelegenen Devonshire House freien Blick auf den Berkeley Square. (de)

  • Lansdowne House è un edificio a sud-ovest di Berkeley Square, nel centro di Londra. È stata progettata da Robert Adam come casa privata e per la maggior parte del suo tempo come residenza appartenne alla famiglia Petty-FitzMaurice, marchesi di Lansdowne. Dal 1935, è stata la sede del Lansdowne Club. Il posizionamento della struttura era piuttosto insolita. Aveva un grande giardino frontale che occupava tutto il lato meridionale della piazza, che si affacciava sul lato. Questa disposizione ha dato a Devonshire House, su Piccadilly, un aspetto più aperto alla piazza. (it)
