Queen Square, Bath

The north side of Queen Square in Bath is the work of John Wood the Elder. It dates from the early eighteenth century and follows the Palladian style for a grand front of a large house. The innovation here is that Wood designed the facade but he sought other builders to erect the individual dwellings behind that make this into, not a single large dwelling, but a terrace of houses.
