Portobello House at 154 Knight's Hill was the home of Mr Quilter, who contributed significantly to the restoration of St Luke's church in 1870. In an unneighbourly act after a disagreement, Mr Quilter erected a replica of the entrance to Maudslay's Engineering Works opposite Mr Maudslay's house in Norwood, so that he would have to endure the sight of his works even when at home.
