Hôtel de Grady


The Hôtel de Grady is a hotel particulier in Liège in Belgium, sited at 5 rue Hors-Château. It is also known as the hôtel Sklins or hôtel de Spirlet.
It was first commissioned in 1765 by Nicolas de Spirlet, privy counsellor to the prince bishop of Liège. The Grady family had been tanners in Outremeuse but they gained a fortune by trade and included lawyers, a deputy and a number of major magistrates. They even married into the Liège aristocracy, including a marriage into the Stockhem family, their neighbours.
