Rotunda, Grade II* listed building in Woolwich, England
The Rotunda stands as a 24-sided polygon structure with a concave conoid roof, supported by a central pillar and decorated with a cupola.
Constructed in 1814 at Carlton House for celebrating victory over Napoleon, the building was dismantled in 1818 and reconstructed at Woolwich Common in 1820.
The structure served as the Royal Artillery Museum from 1820 to 2001, displaying military collections that supported training at the Royal Military Repository.
The Defense Infrastructure Organisation received authorization to repair extensive roof damage that threatens the structural integrity of the building.
The Rotunda represents architect John Nash's transformation of a temporary wooden celebration venue into a permanent brick military museum building.
