Kenwood, the Middlesex home of Lord Mansfield, was a typical example of Adam's way of working neoclassicism into an existing building. The interiors were renovated in the Adam style, while the north front was fitted with a giant portico and the south with the Corinthian columns and pediment shown in this engraving. The Adam brothers' work appealed to fashionable society, and many clients wanted their homes remodelled in the new style.
