Hyme House
Hyme House, at 3 Fitzjohn's Avenue, Hampstead, England (1), was the London home of society portrait painter Philip de László. He painted many of his portraits at sittings in the studio and gardens of Hyme House. Sitters included royalty, celebrities, businesspeople and politicians from the 1920s and 1930s (2)(4). The house was built in 1886; de Laszlo and his wife, heiress Lucy Guinness (3), lived there from 1921 to 1937. In 1938 the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross, a Catholic Religious Order, acquired Hyme House and later took over the villas at numbers 5 and 7. The Order linked the three villas into a girls' school, which operated up until 1985 (3). The house then became the Fitzjohn's Lodge Hotel (3).
