London and Dublin are cities of Georgian Squares. They share attributes that neither share with the industrial cities of northern England. Theirs is a mercantile, colonial and imperialist, and political past...

The Square was laid out in 1730's. It was named for Lord Berkeley of Stratton, a Royalist commander in the Civil War.The north end of the Square was left open to preserve the view from Berkeley House (later Devonshire House). Thirty some large Maples were planted in the central garden in 1789. The popular Gunter's Tea Shop located at 7 & 8 must have generated traffic on warm afternoons.

Was laid out by John Prince for the 2nd Earl of Oxford. It was the first development on his estate and was named for the Earl's wife Henrietta Cavendish-Hollace. Construction began in 1717, but was held up by the South Sea Bubble. Oxford street was built to stimulate the leasing of lots and construction of houses.
Built between 1725-1731 at the center of the Grosvenor estate. It is the 2nd largest Square in London. The average cost of homes originally built there was the amazing sum of 7,500 pounds--at a time when a time when a farm laborer received less than 40 pence, there are 240 pence per pound, per day during the high demand harvest season. Naturally the majority of the original residents were titled. The area came to be called Little America because John Quincy Adams lived there while he was the American ambassador to Britian.
Bounded by Oxford St. on the north, Regent St. on the east, on South and West by the backs of the houses on Conduit and New Bond Streets. The square was located at the center of Millfield Close Estate. Development began after the accession of George I in 1714. The Whig magnate Lt. General the Earl of Scarborough began this first of the great Mayfair Squares. The Church of St. George, built on St George St., was immediately fashionable. Retired Generals and other persons of distinction inhabited the homes in the square. Learned societies and clubs moved in as it became less fashionable. Robert Adam remodeled No. 13 Roxburghe House, in 1776, for the 3rd Duke of Roxburghe who was famous for his book collection. The Lascelles family later owned the house, so it became known as Harewood House.
Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester, acquired the land on which this square was built in the 1670's. Leicecter House on the North side was completed in 1635. Houses were modeled on those in Pall Mall. Earls of Ailesburry, Sunderland, Rockingham, Scarsdale, Westmorland, and Deloraine lived there. In 1782 Gedge opened a Linen Drapers shop with one of the first large shopfront windows. Hogarth lived at No. 30 where he drew Rake's Progress. Joshua Reynolds lived in No. 47 from 1760-1792. Dr. Johnson and Fanny Burney were frequent visitors there. The area became less fashionable by 1800 when craftsmen moved in.
The largest Square in London developed over two common fields. Pursefield and Cupsfield were former playfields for students. After several attempts to build in the area in 1630 William Newton was finally granted the right to build on the sight when he assured the crown he could increase the annual income from the land to more than the sum of 5pounds 6s 8d it collected in rents at that time. By 1641, Newton had built 32 houses around the Square. While the area was fashionable, it was plagued by fights and robberies. Residents included: Edward Montagu the 1st Earl of Sandwich, 2nd and 3rd Lords Coventry, Thomas Pelham-Holles Duke of Newcastle, Robert Sidney 2nd Earl of Licester, Robert Bertie 1st Earl of Lindsey at no. 59-60 built in 1640 by Inigo Jones, the Duchess of Portsmouth, Willaim Pitt's chambers in 1778, and Charles Beauclerk 1st Duke of St. Albans who was the son of Nell Gwen and Charles II's.
Built 1674-1684 on the land of Henry William Portman. Montagu House at the northwest corner was built by James Stuart for Mrs. Elizabeth Montagu. She used to give a roast beef and plum pudding dinner for chimney-sweeps and their apprentices on Mayday. One of them, David Porter, grew up to be a builder and named Montagu square in her honor. No. 20 Home House was built by Robert Adam 1773-7.
This Square was built in 1681 and named for Charles II. His statue was erected at its center. The Earl of St. Albans leased the land to a brewer who passed it on to Richard Frith, a brick layer. Monmouth House is on the South side. Fauconberg House and Carlisle Hose were on the East side, Viscount Preston also lived there. Sometime after 1739 it became Soho Square. The word Soho originates from a hunting cry; the land was formerly a hunting ground. No. 32 was the residence of botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who gave breakfasts at which he would show his collections from his voyages with Captain Cook. By the 1770's many ambassadors lived in this square.
Built 1708-1720 and named after Queen Anne. Dr. Charles Burney and Fanny lived there 1771-2. Hampstead and Highgate could be seen through the open North side at that time. The Burney's entertained Cook here when he returned to London from his 2nd voyage. The Garden has a statue of Queen Charlotte that was placed there in 1775. Dr Willis lived there. Early in his illness King George III stayed with Dr. Willis. The square was a fashionable area until 1800.
Development began in 1675 and was carried out by Jermyn, the Earl of St. Albans, and Clarges. The Square is bordered by St James St, Haymarket, King Charles II St, and Jermyn St.. Sir John Denham, the surveyor General probably designed the brick homes with stone dressings. It housed several foreign Embassies. Number 21 housed Arrabella Churchill and Catharine Sedley in turn when they were James II's mistresses. Between 1791-95 No. 21 was rebuilt by the 5th Duke of Leeds. In 1829 the Bishops of Winchester took the house, 46 years later it was sold and a distillery was built on the lot.
Edmund Boehm, a rich merchant, was giving a ball at No. 16 one evening in 1815. The Boehms were no doubt delighted to have the Prince Regent as a guest. Major Henry Percy arrived at the door in a uniform still bloody from the Battle of Waterloo. When brought before the Prince Regent he laid the French Eagles at the Prince's Feet announcing the Victory of Waterloo. Mrs. Boehm was upset at the interruption of her party, but the Prince, who loved public spectacle, was delighted. After asking the ladies to leave the room, he had Lord Liverpool read the dispatch aloud. The Regent promoted the messenger Percy to Colonel on the spot.
In 1820 Queen Caroline rented no. 17 while she was testifying at parliament.

Maximising the city's Georgian heritage
Friday 13th September 2013
BOOKING NOW OPEN
Dublin Civic Trust is delighted to announce a major one-day conference assessing the role and significance, past, present and future, of the historic squares of Dublin.
Placing a special emphasis on the north Georgian area of the city in collaboration with The Mountjoy Square Society, this major one-day symposium will be hosted in the magnificent environment of the former ballroom of the Assembly Rooms of the Rotunda Hospital on Parnell Square, once the focus of social life in eighteenth-century Dublin.

Conference Theme
DUBLIN’S five major historic squares are emblematic of the city’s internationally renowned eighteenth-century heritage, synonymous with Enlightenment principles of urban planning, ordered street architecture and classically inspired park and garden design. The square has ancient roots in Greek and Roman civilisations, and later in the Renaissance civic planning of continental Europe, however it is the local, vernacular interpretation of the urban square in the Dublin context, and the social and economic dynamics that forged it, that lend these surviving built and natural landscapes a unique interest in the modern world.
Speakers and Topics
This major conference will feature a host of expert national and international speakers highlighting the architectural, cultural, social and economic significance of the five major historic squares of Dublin and their hinterlands. It will showcase their historic evolution through estate planning and management, building speculation and development, public landscape design, and the various international influences that helped shape the now familiar landscape of the city.
It is also recognised that the role of the squares in Dublin is much greater than as an isolated cultural asset, as they also serve as a key social and economic resource for the city at a time of growing environmental awareness and international competition between major urban centres. Much discussion and academic research in recent decades has rightly centred on the historic evolution of the squares, but much less so on their modern-day role as hubs of living, working, leisure and community life.
For the first time in a public forum, this conference aims to stimulate public discussion about the conservation of the built and natural environments of Dublin’s squares through exploring new uses for buildings, reinventing the public realm and promoting new perspectives on the role and design of their public gardens and parks.
It also seeks to explore how the economic and social vitality of the city can be enhanced through changing perceptions about the squares and their attendant streets, reshaping predominately commercial uses on the south side and widespread inadequate residential standards on the north side, into world-class community and commercial centres that innovatively embrace this unique heritage asset.

Conference speakers will assess international best practice of managing streetscape, presenting historic planted landscapes, and financing building and landscape conservation through public and private funding and incentivisation. Please find programme details below.
Location
The conference takes place in the magnificent surroundings of the Pillar Room, the ballroom of the former Assembly Rooms of the Rotunda Hospital on Dublin's Parnell Square. Begun in 1784 to the designs of architect Richard Johnston, the New Assembly Rooms is one of the forgotten civic complexes of Georgian Dublin - a largely intact, architecturally significant series of public entertaining rooms that originally addressed the Rotunda Pleasure Gardens.
The rooms complemented the earlier round room or Rotunda erected by John Ensor in 1764, but shared a similar purpose of raising revenue for the hospital, playing host to balls, musical events and fashionable society gatherings. The New Assembly Rooms featured a ballroom to the ground floor opening onto the gardens (The Pillar Room), a grand supper room on the first floor (now the auditorium of The Gate Theatre), and a Tea Room at ground floor level (part of which has been subsumed into the entrance of The Gate).
Our choice of location reflects the need to refocus public policy towards the latent resources of the city, in this case the unique heritage asset of Parnell Square with its combination of former public buildings, pleasure grounds and spectacular collection of mid-Georgian town houses. We hope the conference and its venue will reshape perceptions about the value of the North Georgian Core of Dublin and showcase its potential to the wider public.
