The first specific mention of 62 Dean Street in its current form was in 1734, although records suggest a building was here since 1691 but only 19 feet in depth. The occupant in 1735 was Richard Griffith, an apothecary (surgeon), whose son continued the family business until 1770. They would have undoubtedly lived upstairs and practiced their medicine, amputations and the like, on the ground floor!

For the next 140 years this house played host to a series of craftsmen and artists who exhibited work here. In 1910 Francis Dowman, a wine merchant, took over and had extensive work carried out on the frontage, creating the distinctive faux Victorian look that we have today. It features fine oak panelling and unique bottle glass panels.

In the late 70's the building became the Film Classification Board, then an advertising agency and finally in 1994 Image-Makers Digital Facilities (theFACILITY). Where as Old Compton Street is named after the then Bishop of London, Henry Compton, the name Dean street is said to come from William Dean(e), a local carpenter (builder) in 1685 and local church warden. He also designed and constructed Brewer Street.

Since the 1850's, Soho attracted professions such as doctors, bakers, shoemakers, piano makers, graphic artists, teachers, leatherworker's, chiropodists and seven tailors. Combined with a theatre and synagogue in one street, one can only imagine the sounds and smells!!  And now theFACILITY!
