IMG 2228-001-Package on a Table

4 Princelet Street, Spitalfields, was built in 1723. Though it is no longer serving as a residence, over the past 300 years it has housed Huguenot silk weavers, the grandson of the founder of Truman Brewery, various laborers, a Polish Jew (a tailor) and his family among others. It is currently hired out for filming and events. I got to see the inside during an exhibition by Gagosian Gallery of the early works of Christo, which were staged throughout the house.

This is one of my all-time favourite buildings in London and I walk by often. Here's a shot of the exterior:

I agree about the large works. I was pleasantly surprised by these smaller, early works.
