Title
Old War Office in Pall Mall
Description
South-facing, rear elevation of the Old War Office at 85-91 Pall Mall, St James's, taken from Carlton Gardens. There are boundary railings in view. The three- and four-storey building was originally two large houses; Cumberland House and Buckingham House. Cumberland House was originally built by Matthew Brettingham as York House in the early-eighteenth century and renamed Cumberland House after the younger brother of King George III. It later became offices for the War Office and was demolished in 1911. Buckingham House was originally built for the Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos and completed in 1795. It too was used as offices for the War Office and demolished in 1908. The Royal Automobile Club now occupies the site. To the extreme right of the image there now stands a statue of former French President, Charles De Gaulle. The railings remain today.
