York House, St. James's Palace, Wing at St James's Palace, Westminster, United Kingdom

York House stands as a prominent section of St James's Palace, featuring low-pitched rooms on the ground floor and drawing rooms on the first floor.

Built in 1736 for Frederick, Prince of Wales, York House has accommodated numerous royal residents including the future Kings George V and Edward VIII.

The 1896 photograph taken at York House captured the Duke and Duchess of York with their collie dog Heather, representing royal domestic life.

The wing contains multiple floors with servants' quarters on the top level, all facing Cleveland Row with a corridor running along the rear section.

York House overlooks the Ambassadors' Court and sits on the former location of a Guards' canteen within the northwestern part of the palace complex.
