Architect NASH’s beautiful Georgian buildings along the MALL: Photo sharing

Filed under: Architecture — tmooresr @ 7:24 pm

These beautiful buildings were built by the architect NASH for the Prince Regent during the first 30 years of the 19th century.  They are built on the site of the old Carlton House, former residence of George IV when Prince of Wales.  Notice the PRINCE OF WALES FEATHERS in the pediment of these exquisite buildings.  These glorious structures are such a contrast to the restrained tastes of the Prince Regent’s parents, King George II and Queen Charlotte who lived domestically at Buckingham House and Kew Palace. Amazing story.
