Designed by James Paine and built between 1755 and 1758, this neo-classical architectural masterpiece has witnessed centuries of history. Originally refurbished by Henry Holland for Prince Frederick, Duke of York, who resided there from 1788 to 1792, the building later became the headquarters of the Scotland Office. Known by various names throughout its existence, including Melbourne House and Dover House, York House stands tall with its impressive portico and neoclassical features. The photograph showcases its grand exterior against a backdrop of an ever-evolving city. Captured from Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places published in 1881 by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co. , this image offers a glimpse into the past.
