[1] 58-59 South Street is a mid 18th-century building that was remodelled in about 1936 by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

[2] Historical residents include the courtesan Catherine Walters who lived there from 1872 until her death in 1920, and the future British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home, born in 1903, whose childhood London home was at 28 South Street,[3] a house built in 1902 with eighteen front windows, which his family leased from the politician and stockbroker, Sir Cuthbert Quilter.

He was an American financier and banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the Gilded Age.

As the head of the banking firm that ultimately became known as J.P. Morgan and Co., he was the driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
