The land locally was bought by John Inderwick (1785–1867) in 1836, "variously described as optician or ivory turner, and latterly as an importer of meerschaum pipes and snuff boxes", who became a successful speculative developer, and the architect was probably Joel Bray.[2]

In 1838, the house was leased to George Hinton, who built the houses to the north in Canning Place.[2]
