Admiralty House, Government building at Mount Wise, Plymouth, England
This limestone structure stands prominently in Mount Wise, featuring architectural elements from the late 18th century with its distinctive Georgian design and naval influence.
Constructed between 1789 and 1793 by James Wyatt, the building first served as Government House before becoming the residence of Plymouth's military Governor.
The building exemplifies British naval administrative architecture, reflecting the deep connection between Plymouth and the Royal Navy through its design and function.
