Kenwood 1913: part 3.

The penultimate section of Theophilus A Allen's original 1913 plan for what was to become Kenwood - this time showing the 1st floor (2nd floor US). Again, it's interesting to note the coal burning fireplace in each room. The master bedroom in the Lennon-era consisted of a large bedroom, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom. If the guesswork about the position of this photo is correct (namely the right hand side of bedroom 2 on this plan), then it's possible that they knocked the wall between bedrooms 1 and 2 down, and filled in the fireplace and right hand entrance, thus making one big room. Many thanks to Chris Sileo for his renderings here of how that might have been. (Also note: The only bit left of that side when Joe Baiardi was there was the dressing room fireplace).
