Stephenson:Neal:Quicksilver:195:Comstock House (Neal Stephenson)

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

There were at the time at least three great family compounds situated along Piccadilly near its intersection with St. James's Street. One of these belonged to the Earl of Clarendon, who is one of several contemporary figures from whom John Comstock is freely adapted. The only one that still exists today is Burlington House, which is now the Royal Academy.
