Richmond House, once located on the banks of the Thames, was built to the designs of Christopher Wren in the late 17th century. A new mansion was built by the 2nd Duke of Richmond in the 1730s, and the house was thereafter admired for its art as well as its lavish parties, commented upon by Horace Walpole. The house was nearly gutted by a fire in 1791 and was bought by the Crown in 1820 to build Richmond Terrace, a terrace of eight houses (E. B. Chancellor, The Private Palaces of London past and present, London, 1908, pp. 137-142).
