Chandos House, Grade I listed building in Marylebone, England.
Chandos House is a five-story Georgian townhouse on Queen Anne Street featuring a grand facade constructed with Craigleith stone from Scotland. The building displays the balanced proportions and carefully crafted details that characterize residences of this period.
Architect Robert Adam designed and built the house between 1769 and 1771 with financial support from his family and banker Sir George Colebrooke. It later became the Austrian embassy, serving that function for multiple decades.
The house served as the Austrian embassy and hosted significant diplomatic receptions that brought together influential figures of European society. The rooms still reflect the formal elegance required for such important gatherings.
The house is near several underground stations and can be easily reached by public transport. After a comprehensive renovation in the early 2000s, all areas are in good condition and accessible.
Anna Eliza Brydges, the Duchess of Chandos, lived in seclusion within these walls following her husband's death and remained there for many years. This extended period of withdrawal shaped the house's story in an unusual way.
