About
Born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, Soane died in 1837 after a long
and distinguished career. He designed 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields as his
home and as a setting for his antiquities and works of art. After his
wife's death he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging
his collections.
He established the house as a museum by Act of Parliament (1833) requiring that his romantic and poetic interiors be kept as they were at the time of his death
