After their deaths Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll bought the property in a sale by auction in 1911. She had this property demolished and replaced with a new built in 1913. She occupied the new property until 1936, when she moved permanently to her apartment at Kensington Palace where she died in December 1939.
