What did Arnold Bennett brown plaque do at Chiltern Court?

The Story

This grand Art Deco apartment building at Chiltern Court served as Arnold Bennett's final London residence, where the celebrated novelist spent his last year and a half from 1930 until his death in 1931. From his rooms overlooking Baker Street, Bennett continued writing prolifically despite his declining health, working on his final novel "Dream of Destiny" which remained unfinished at his death. It was in these elegant surroundings that Bennett, who had risen from humble beginnings to become one of England's most successful authors, succumbed to typhoid fever after reportedly drinking unfiltered water at the Savoy Hotel - a tragic end for a man who had so thoroughly chronicled British society through his novels and essays.
