The house museum is located in the former residence of renowned English writer Samuel Johnson, who lived and worked here from 1748 to 1759. It was within these walls that he compiled his famous masterpiece, A Dictionary of the English Language. Built in 1700 by wool merchant Richard Gough, this architectural gem stands as a rare surviving example of its era in the heart of London. The image portrays the exterior of Dr Johnson's House, situated on Gough Square. In this snapshot from a bygone era, we see a horse-drawn cart passing by on the road outside.
