Pont Street was developed in the 1880s. No. 67 (Farm House) was built in 1884 for Sir Herbert Stewart to designs by C. W. Stephens, a red brick structure with tile-hanging to the upper storey and half-timbering in the gables. We also read that the Stewart’s London home was at nearby 40 Cadogan Place.
