Sir John Soane's Museum is a house museum, located next to Lincoln's Inn Fields in Holborn, London, which was formerly the home of neo-classical architect John Soane. It holds many drawings and architectural models of Soane's projects and a large collection of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and antiquities that he acquired over many years.
The history of John Soane’s Bank of England can be traced through his architectural drawings. The building works fall into five phases, with Soane’s busiest era comprising two of those phases, from 1791 to 1808. The catalogue is divided into these phases, which are further divided into geographic areas, or schemes.
Construction, except for the hardening-off of the roof, was completed in October 1795. The original core of Taylor's Rotunda was kept but reinforced with stone cladding and crowned with a new dome of hollow-cone pots and brick. The Rotunda was originally built by Sir Robert Taylor (1765-68) for the trading of government and Bank stocks.
His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger.
