Map

(S1) says southeast corner of Baker Street, but context shows that he means this corner, see reference to road (Pier Plain) by Manor House leaving Baker Street at southeast corner.
'A curious-timbered house stood at southeast corner of Baker Street, which was taken down in 1710. It was a curious building of the time of Henry VIII. The entrance from the street was by a low archway. A portion of the great chamber
remained to the last, nearly in its original state, having a large chimneypiece adorned with carvings, a variety of devices, and armorial bearings, as stated by Randall'.
