Durham House, Medieval townhouse in Strand, England
The structure featured a gatehouse entrance leading to two courtyards, with the outer section containing lodgings and service rooms along the Thames River.
Thomas Wolsey resided at Durham House in 1523 as Bishop of Durham, using the residence during the reconstruction works at York Place.
The residence became a high-status guest house for ambassadors, royal family members, and ministers under the reign of Henry VIII.
Durham House changed ownership multiple times between the bishops, the crown, and private individuals before its complete demolition in the late 18th century.
Sir Walter Raleigh hosted Native American Algonquin Indians Manteo and Wanchese at Durham House after investing 2,000 pounds in repairs.
