Description
White Lodge is a Grade I listed building located in Richmond Park, constructed between 1727 and 1729 based on designs by Henry, Earl of Pembroke, likely with assistance from Roger Morris. Originally built as a hunting lodge for George II, it features a combination of stone and brick with a green slate roof. The garden front has two storeys, with a basement on the sides and a single tall storey plus basement in the central three bays. The entire structure is five bays wide, with the basement rusticated in the central bays, which include central staircases leading to the first floor and segmental-headed windows. Above, Doric engaged columns support an entablature and pediment. The outer windows in the basement are square with keystones, while those on the first floor are pedimented.
Later brick wings, designed by Roger Morris and S Wright, can be seen from the entrance court and are connected to the main building by curved screens featuring five niches on each side, designed by Thomas Wright. A porte cochere was added by James Wyatt in 1801. The building has been known as White Lodge since 1768, with alterations made by Repton in 1816 and a modern picture gallery extension added. The interior has not been seen.
