EDITORS COMMENTS
Whitehall Yard, (1881): A Glimpse into London's Architectural History". This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Westminster in 1881. The focal point is the magnificent Goose-Pie House, an exquisite example of English Baroque architecture designed by the renowned architect and dramatist John Vanbrugh in 1701. Its construction incorporated salvaged brick and stone from the once grand Palace of Whitehall, infusing it with a sense of history. The image transports us to a time when this small but remarkable house stood proudly opposite Horse Guards, overlooking Whitehall Yard. It was within these walls that Vanbrugh himself lived until his passing in 1726. Sadly, Goose-Pie House met its demise in 1898 when it was demolished, leaving only memories behind. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of bustling city life as soldiers stand guard nearby while people go about their daily activities. The monochrome tones add a timeless charm to the scene, highlighting both the architectural beauty and historical significance of this location. Preserved within the pages of Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History" this image serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and architectural prowess. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how buildings like Goose-Pie House were not just structures but vessels for stories that shaped our past.
