Cumberland House, Mansion in Pall Mall, City of Westminster, United Kingdom.

The mansion featured seven bays across three main stories with a basement and attics, constructed of brick with stone accents along the facade.

Matthew Brettingham designed this residence in the 1760s for Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany, initially naming it York House.

Robert Adam created multiple interior designs for the mansion when it belonged to the Duke of Cumberland, though few were implemented before his death.

The property transitioned to government use in 1806 when the Board of Ordnance acquired it, later becoming the War Office headquarters.

The site underwent demolition between 1908 and 1911, making way for the Royal Automobile Club that now occupies the location.
