He is best known for his controversial treatment of Frederick III of Germany, in which a silver tube was inserted down the king's throat which rendered him mute, unable to communicate except by writing.
He was the founder of the first hospital devoted to diseases of the throat, and is widely considered the father of laryngology in Britain.
The house was erected by LUDRA in 1909.
