It is simply out of the question.The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" was published in the UK in The Strand Magazine in December 1908, [2] and in the US in Collier's on 12 December 1908. [3] The story was published with six illustrations by Arthur Twidle in the Strand, and with five illustrations by Frederic Dorr Steele in Collier's. [4] The story was included in the short story collection His Last Bow, [4] which was published in the UK and the US in October 1917. [5] Adaptations [ edit ] Film and television [ edit ] Maps of the area from the late nineteenth century indicate that many of the buildings in the vicinity were narrow and deep like a typical terraced house. And Abbey House was definitely NOT a terraced house. If nothing else, this proves that not every building on the street was a terraced house.

During those thirteen years I had read the stories again and again, and listened to them countless times in audio book form and came across details which should have been reflected in the original illustration. Bit similar to stage drama. Holmes accepted that he liked to be dramatic; and this has influenced Satyajit Ray's Feluda. Of course, these "other tenants" are not mentioned once in the sixty stories.

Holmes would think nothing of taking his pistol and firing one hundred shots into a wall. What neighbor would tolerate that? Baker Street was later extended, but 221B still did not exist because there was a large building at that location called Abbey House which took up the space of several numbers including 221.The books were not illustrated, but the flat at 221B Baker Street flat began to take shape in my imagination.

If one could just ignore that story, then constructing a floor plan would be simple -- and most artists who have attempted to depict 221B Baker Street have done just that. Regarding the rooms upstairs which include Watson's bedroom and Holmes' chamber as well as a lumber room, I would love to make a second illustration depicting those rooms, but there is not enough data; I would be supplying most of the details from my own imagination and speculation. They apparently chose to conform to the architecture of typical dwellings on Baker Street at the time rather than deal with the absolutely unique dwelling described in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone.Illustration of a pantomime at Drury Lane for The Illustrated London News, 8 January 1876, reprinted in Daily Life in Victorian England by Sally Mitchell, p.214 (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1996)

This unique dwelling happened to be located on Baker Street among the crowded and simple dwellings that working class families could afford, but it was not cheap. The large tin box in The Musgrave Ritual is based on the original illustration and has a very distinct design. There are several illustrations on the web which depict 221B Baker Street as a terraced house, but one web article in particular goes so far as to criticize my illustration for not being a terraced house.
