Edith Streets, discussing Linden House in Upper Mall, writes: "This is used as a sailing and rowing clubhouse, owned by the London Corinthian Trust. The exact date of the construction is not known but it is recorded from 1795. It is possible that a Dutch merchant named Isaac le Gooch built it in 1685."
