Exeter House, 17th-century mansion in Derby, United Kingdom
The brick building stood on Full Street with a rectangular court front and featured wide staircases leading to multiple paneled rooms on upper floors.
Charles Edward Stuart stayed at Exeter House in December 1745 during the Jacobite rising, holding a decisive council of war before retreating north.
The preserved oak paneling from the house's drawing room remains on display at Derby Museum and Art Gallery since its transfer in 1879.
The location of former Exeter House near Derby's center provided access to the River Derwent through private gardens with a timber footbridge.
The final owner, William Eaton Mousely, preserved the historical paneling after public requests, preventing its sale before the building's demolition in 1854.
