Dairy, Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath, London

            Kenwood House is a former stately home in Hampstead, London, on the northern boundary of Hampstead Heath. The house was originally constructed in the 17th century and served as a residence for the Earls of Mansfield during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The original house on the property was presumed to have been built around 1616 by the King's Printer, John Bill, and was known as Caen Wood House. It was acquired in 1694 by the Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, William Bridges, who demolished the house and rebuilt it; the original brick structure remains intact under the facade added in the 18th century. The orangery was added in about 1700. Bridges sold the house in 1704, and it went under several owners until 1754, when it was bought by the future Earl of Mansfield, William Murray.

In 1764, Murray commissioned Robert Adam to remodel the house. Adam was given complete freedom to design it as he chose. He added the library, one of his most famous interiors, to balance the orangery, and accommodate Lord Mansfield's extensive book collection. He also designed the Ionic portico at the entrance.

The dairy consists of three pavilions built between 1794 and 1795 on a hill to the west of the house. It was commissioned by the 2nd Earl and Countess of Mansfield, and was probably designed by the architect George Saunders. The buildings include a working dairy with the original marble trays, where cream was allowed to settle at the start of the butter-making process. The central building was the dairy maid's quarters.
