Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - Ko tētahi o ngā whare tuatahi i Rānana i whakawhiwhia ki te hiko, ko te Grosvenor Gallery i Bond Street. Ko te reira i te brainchild o te Earl o Crawford, i nei i faauruhia i roto i te 1881 e te International Exhibition o Hiko
i Parīhi. I hangaia he whare hiko i te Whare Taonga o Grosvenor. I hoahoahia hei whakarato i te rama mo te whakaaturanga, engari kaore i roa ka whakawhānuihia ki te whakarato i nga toa tata me nga whare noho, ka whakatuwherahia he tipu hiko nui ake i te tau 1884. I runga i te whakaaro ki te whakawhānui ake, ka hangaia te London Electric Supply Corporation (LESCo). Ko nga kaiwhiwhi matua ko te Earl o Crawford, ko tana hoa a Sir Coutts Lindsay me te tuakana o Sir Coutts, a Lord Wantage.
