History
The land belonged to Major Sloane Stanley by 1900.[1] Around that time, Stanley leased it to the Metropolitan Industrial Dwellings Company, who built five-storey red-brick buildings along 26-60 Park Walk and called them Elm Park Mansions.[1]
In 1900, The Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association rented twelve suites of rooms in Elm Park Mansions to accommodate officers' widows and unmarried daughters.[2]
The satirist and playboy William Donaldson lived at 139 Elm Park Mansions in the 1970s-1980s.[3]
