Twenty-five Gay Street sits as a narrow, four-story townhouse with a distinct fanlight window arching over the front door. John Wood the Younger designed this building as part of a larger streetscape intended to connect the Circus to Queen Square. In seventeen eighty-one, Hester Thrale moved into this house with her second husband, Gabriel Piozzi. She was a renowned literary hostess and a close friend of Samuel Johnson, and she spent her years here hosting Bath society in these rooms.
