In 1762 Robert Adam began work on a house on the south side of Berkeley Square for the 3rd Earl of Bute. Three years later Bute sold the unfinished shell to William Petty, Earl of Shelburne and 1st Marquis Lansdowne. Adam continued to work on the house (his plans and services were included in the purchase price) which was largely complete by 1768.

George Dance`s designs of 1788-91 were eventually realised as a sculpture gallery in 1816-19 by Robert Smirke..
