A 1783 hand-colored engraving of the House from "Watts Seats of the Nobility"
Earlier Houses: There was an earlier house of the Malet family on the site that was demolished in the early 18th century.
Built / Designed For: 2nd Earl of Egmont
House & Family History: In the 1930s H.H. Broadmead sold wooden paneling from Enmore to the Christian Science Publishing Society, who installed the panels in their new 1934 Neoclassical headquarters building in Boston. The building is most famous today for its three-story-tall, 30-foot-wide globe constructed of bronze and 608 stained glass panels. Known as the Mapparium, this unique object is a snapshot of the world in the years leading up to World War II (the Mapparium was based on the 1934 Rand McNally world map).
