Who made the houses.

The Library's register of the people behind the houses. Admission follows a single criterion — the person created or remade a model of luxury hospitality that others then reproduced. Title, wealth and visibility admit no one. The nine groups follow the model, never the era: the axis is whose capital and whose authorship. All 287 entries carry a permanent LHL-P code; 260 carry a full article. The Part IX overview sets out the structure and the stories.

Notes on the register. Nine groups follow the model, never the era: the axis is whose capital and whose authorship. Paired entries carry one code where authorship is genuinely joint. A closed record marks a life concluded — the code and the history stand (§11). One candidacy is suspended under §18.4.1 while its subject holds public office, its brand anchor already resident in the register. Reigning heads of state receive no entries; documented authorship is recorded in the Key People line of the house concerned.
