Description
Apsley House is a Grade I listed mansion located on the north side of Piccadilly in Westminster. It was built between 1771 and 1778 by the architect Robert Adam and was later remodeled and enlarged from 1828 to 1829 by Benjamin and Philip Wyatt, with further alterations made in 1853 by Philip Hardwick. The building features a bath stone facade and consists of three storeys with seven windows across the front.
The ground level has a rusticated podium with three central bays that project forward, supporting a pedimented Corinthian portico. The podium includes arched entrances, while the upper floors are adorned with square-headed, architraved sash windows and French casements on the first floor, all featuring glazing bars. The corners, sides, and rear of the building are treated with Corinthian pilasters, and a dentil cornice runs along all four elevations.
Inside, Apsley House boasts fine interiors, including some original decorations by the Adam Brothers and Wyatt's Waterloo Gallery. It was the residence of the 1st Duke of Wellington.
