Pembroke-House, Whitehall-Gardens, the Office of the Minister-at-War, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Pembroke-House, Whitehall-Gardens, the Office of the Minister-at-War, 1854. Government buildings in London. The concentration of Government Offices which occupy a portion of the site of the extensive Palace of Whitehall, has recently received the addition of Pembroke House...official residence of the new War Minister, His Grace the Duke of Newcastle. Pembroke House is one of the mansions which were erected upon the gardens, grounds, and site of the old palace, after the great fire of 1698. It is a stately edifice...the approach from Whitehall gardens is through a large and lofty gate...Adjoining the above front is an ivied wall, part of a bastion, and a fragment of the palace - a blocked-up arch - facing Whitehall-yard. Here also are the offices of three minor departments of the War-Office; so that this new location of its Minister is likely to prove a convenient choice'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
Pembroke-House, Whitehall-Gardens: The Office of the Minister-at-War, 1854 This photograph showcases Pembroke-House, located in Whitehall-Gardens and serving as the official residence of the War Minister, His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, in 1854. The image offers a glimpse into the grandeur of government buildings in London during this period. Pembroke-House is one of the magnificent mansions constructed on the gardens, grounds, and site of the old Palace of Whitehall after the devastating fire of 1698. The edifice is a stately structure, boasting an impressive facade that stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. Approaching Pembroke-House from Whitehall Gardens, one is greeted by a large and lofty gate, leading to the residence. Adjacent to the main frontage, an ivied wall and a fragment of the palace can be seen. This remnant of the past includes a blocked-up arch and the offices of three minor departments of the War Office. The strategic placement of the War Minister's residence in this location is likely to prove a convenient choice, as it brings the Minister closer to the heart of the War Office operations. The rich history and grandeur of Pembroke-House serve as a fitting backdrop for the important work being carried out within its walls.
