Mount Ararat, Richmond, Former country house at Richmond Hill, England.
The residence featured an architectural design from the 1740s, positioned along the elevated section of Richmond Hill with views toward the Thames.
Daniel Wray, a British Museum trustee, established the initial occupancy of Mount Ararat before Field Marshal Thomas Grosvenor resided there until 1851.
The house represented the grand residential architecture of Richmond Hill during the Georgian period when notable military and social figures selected this location.
The mansion remained a private residence through multiple owners until its complete demolition occurred in 1897 after Admiral Robert Stopford's final occupancy.
The structure held a strategic position on Richmond Hill, hosting both a British Museum trustee and military leaders throughout its 150-year existence.
