Title
Horse Guards building in Whitehall
Description
Horse Guards building, Whitehall, Westminster. The group of buildings known as the Horse Guards was erected roughly between 1750 and 1760 Horse as a barracks and stables for the Household Cavalry, under the authorship of architects William Kent and John Vardy. The buildings and facade on the Whitehall side appear to owe more to Vardy. At the time of this photograph the ground floor was mainly devoted to stabling and quarters for the King's Life Guard, with stores and offices in the rest of the floor. The remainder of the block was occupied by the headquarters of the Eastern Command and London District. Living quarters were provided on the upper floor. Still the headquarters of the Household Division, it is a Grade I listed building; list entry number: 1066100.
