Schomberg House, Grade II* listed mansion in Pall Mall, Westminster, England

The red brick facade of Schomberg House spans four floors with nine windows and features three central bays topped by a pediment.

The mansion was built in 1698 for the Duke of Schomberg, a Huguenot general serving the British Crown, and adapted from Portland House.

Portrait painter Thomas Gainsborough resided at number 80 from 1774 to 1788, establishing the building as a center of artistic activity.

The structure now serves government offices while maintaining its preserved historical facades at numbers 81 and 82 on Pall Mall.

Scottish practitioner James Graham created a Temple of Health with an electrically equipped celestial bed in the building during the 1780s.
