This house is known as the Henriques House because it was bequeathed to the museum by Lady Henriques. It is a model of a typical Kensington or Belgravia town house, found in long rows of elegant terraces. This house was made in the 18th century but we do not know whether it was made for a child or an adult. Most of the contents were left to another collection and as a result the house is quite sparsely furnished.
