Egyptian Hall, Egyptian Revival architectural structure in Westminster, United Kingdom
The Egyptian Hall features ornate stone columns, hieroglyphic-style decorations, and massive entrance pylons that reflect ancient Egyptian architectural elements throughout its exterior design.
Built in 1812 for William Bullock at a cost of £16,000, the Egyptian Hall emerged during a period of British fascination with Egyptian culture following Napoleon's Egyptian campaign.
The building served as an exhibition space where Giovanni Battista Belzoni displayed replicas of Egyptian tombs, introducing London society to ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Located in Piccadilly, the Egyptian Hall functioned as a museum until 1905, when authorities approved its demolition to make way for new developments.
This structure represented the first major Egyptian Revival building in England, setting architectural precedents for similar designs across the British Isles.
