The New International Encyclopædia/Dick’s Coffee-house

​DICK’S COFFEE-HOUSE. A London coffeehouse, originally called ‘Richard’s,’ after Richard Torner or Turner, who was its first proprietor (1680). The building still stands, on the south side of Fleet Street (No. 8), near the Temple. The poet Cowper, during his residence in the latter place, is said to have been one of its habitués.
