Admiralty House, Government building in City of Westminster, England
The four-storey yellow brick structure features three broad bays on its front facade and five bays facing Horse Guards Parade at the rear point.
Samuel Pepys Cockerell designed this Grade I listed building, which opened in 1788 as the residence for the First Lord of the Admiralty until 1964.
The building contains preserved architectural elements from the Georgian period, including detailed paneling and nautical-themed decorative features throughout its interior spaces.
Modern visitors can view the exterior of Admiralty House from Whitehall, while the interior spaces now serve as government function rooms and ministerial apartments.
Winston Churchill occupied this residence during both terms as First Lord of the Admiralty, from 1911 to 1915 and again from 1939 to 1940.
