Excise Office

Excise Office
   In Bartholomew Lane prior to 1666, when it was destroyed in the Great Fire. It was then removed to Bloomsbury, but not apparently for long. It was held in Sir John Frederick's house in Old Jewry, as shown in Strype's maps, 1720 and 1755, until 1768, when the Crown acquired the site of the old Gresham College and erected a new Excise Office there, shown in Horwood's map, 1799. It seems to have been in Broad Street at one time.
   The Office was removed to Somerset House in 1848 and the old site was sold.
