The survey and study of a Huguenot house in the area around Christ Church, Spitalfields.

The land, previously a tenter ground and market garden, was bought by two lawyers, Charles Wood of Lincoln's Inn and Simon Michell of the Middle Temple, and developed between 1718 and 1728 as what has become known as the Wood-Mitchell estate.

No. 25 is single-fronted and two rooms deep built around 1725. It is constructed of multi-coloured brick, partly rebuilt, with red brick dressings to the windows. It is three windows wide, and has three storeys with basement and a boarded attic, probably later convented as a weaving loft. The windows have sashes in flush frames. The segmental arches are of rubbed red brick.
