Premises of the Lyceum Club In An Historic House, c1935. Creator: Donald McLeish
Premises of the Lyceum Club In An Historic House, c1935. Building at number 138 Piccadilly, central London, built c1763 for William Douglas, 4th Duke of Queensberry (1725-1810) and which later housed the Lyceum Club for women. Founded by Constance Smedley in 1904, the Lyceum was intended for ladies engaged with literature, journalism, art, science and medicine, who required a substantial and dignified milieu where [they] could meet editors and other employers and discuss matters as men did in professional clubs: above all in surroundings that did not suggest poverty. The Lyceum had a library, an art gallery in which members work was displayed, 35 bedrooms, and employed hairdressers and sewing maids. From " Wonderful London, Volume 3", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. [The Fleetway House, London, c1935]
