Marlborough House, Brighton, Grade I listed mansion in Brighton, England
Marlborough House is a mansion located at 54 Old Steine featuring a neoclassical facade with a grand entrance portico and ornate detailing designed by Robert Adam. The building displays symmetrical proportions and carefully composed decorative elements across its exterior.
William Gerard Hamilton purchased the property in 1786 and commissioned Robert Adam to transform the existing structure into a neoclassical residence. This redesign made the mansion one of the area's most accomplished examples of late Georgian architecture.
The building hosted the Prince of Wales as a temporary resident during Royal Pavilion renovations in the late 1700s. Its refined interiors reflect the tastes of Georgian-era nobility and their lifestyle choices.
The structure is not open to visitors as it has remained vacant since 1999 and requires significant restoration work. You can still appreciate the architectural design from the street and exterior view of the building.
The mansion represents one of the few surviving examples of Robert Adam's residential work on England's south coast. Despite its current vacant state, it still demonstrates the caliber and ambition of this accomplished 18th-century architect.
