Northumberland House, Former aristocratic townhouse on the Strand, London, England
The grand residence featured a 162-foot-wide facade with corner turrets and incorporated both Jacobean and Palladian architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built between 1605 and 1609 by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, the mansion changed ownership to the Percy family in 1642 through marriage.
The residence contained decorated state rooms designed by Robert Adam in the 1770s, displaying the refined taste of London's noble families.
The building stood at the intersection of Strand and Northumberland Avenue until 1874, when it was demolished to make way for urban development.
An archway designed by William Kent survives today at the Bromley by Bow Centre, while original glass drawing room panels remain in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
