The building was built circa 1870 as a pair of four-storey townhouses.[1] Theodore Watts-Dunton moved in during 1879 with his two sisters, brother in-law, and nephew.[3][4] Watts-Dunton took in Algernon Charles Swinburne[5] until Swinburne's death in 1909.[6] Watts-Dunton and Swinburne are seen in an image at the property in 1909[7] and a blue plaque erected by the London County Council on the house in 1926 reads "Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909) poet, and his friend Theodore Watts-Dunton (1832–1914) poet, novelist, critic, lived and died here".[8] Watts-Dunton lived on at The Pines for five years after his more famous companion's death in 1909[9] and then died there in 1914.[10]

Visitors

Essayist and cartoonist Max Beerbohm frequently visited.[11] He described the house as being "but a few steps from the railway-station in Putney High Street" in his 1914 essay No. 2, The Pines.,[12] and illustrated a visit in a piece in 1926.[13] Mollie Panter-Downes researched Beerbohm's visits in the book 'At the Pines' in 1971.[14]

Watts-Dunton also took in artist Henry Treffry Dunn and provided a studio for him at The Pines until his death in 1899.[15]
