Admiralty House

Admiralty House in London is a Grade I listed building facing Whitehall, currently used for UK government functions and as ministerial flats. It was opened in 1788 and until 1964 was the official residence of First Lords of the Admiralty. Admiralty House is a three storey building of yellow brick. The front facade has a symmetrical facade of three broad bays and one additional small bay at the southern end. The rear facade is of five bays and faces Horse Guards Parade. The front of the house faces Whitehall; it does not have its own main entrance as it is entered through the Ripley Building. Prior to 1904 however, there was an entrance through the Admiralty gardens from St. James's Park. Admiralty House was designed by Samuel Pepys...
