House & Family History: Gordon House was occupied by Maria Grey Training College in the mid-20th century. After extensive renovation to the House and redevelopment of its grounds, Gordon House and 0.74 acres were listed for sale in 2009 for £25 million; in June 2010 the asking price was reduced to £15 million. See house drawings reproduced in "Robert Adam and his Circle" by John Fleming, 1962 (Gordon House is believed to be Adam's first residential extension). Lord Kilmorey, the last private owner of Gordon, added the Clocktower and refaced the exterior of the House in the Italianate style in 1851.
