It's a pity the house was demolished but Carlton House Terrace which replaced it is a fine piece of town planning & looks suitably grand from The Mall.

When George IV became king in 1820 he now began the renovations of Buckingham House and no longer need Carlton House its fate was sealed!

I agree it does look really grand and survived to this day.

“Connorville” is another Tasmanian property with Royal connections.

Upthread I’ve posted photos I took of the Royal train that is sitting in a shed in the state, and written about Mona Vale and it’s Royal guests.

This property, Connorville, a private home, had the distinction of having the Royal Standard fly over it while The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh stayed.

Roads were improved and additions were added to the building for the one night stop-over of the Royal entourage.

Even a building was erected to enable communication with Buckingham Palace.

Prince Philip had stayed at the property previously, for a week during WWll when on leave from the Navy, invited by nieces of the owner.

The article below has more details and photos, including a photo of Her Majesty’s bedroom.

The YouTube has some footage at around the 41 minute mark.

Durham House was the original London lodging of the Bishop of Durham. It must have been very impressive in its day though illustrations of the house show a rather strange architectural style. The last ruins were still around until the Adam brothers designed and built the Adelphi Terrace on the site in 1820/21.
