Shortly after the death of George Howard the 9th Earl of Carlisle in 1911, One Palace Green was acquired by Sir John Barker (1840-1914, photo), the founder of the Barkers department store on Kensington High Street, for use as his London home.

In 1912 the department store was devastated by fire and this led to One Palace Green being used as a furniture depository for Barkers, a role which continued until 1926 when the store was reopened.
