SE58 Clarence House, from the Mall, London.

Gracious stuccoed house for William, Duke of Clarence, by John Nash on the site of his old lodgings. It was finished in 1828. In 1830 William became King and, because Buckingham Palace was not finished he continued to live there. He tried St. James's Palace for a time, but found there was so little room that he and his Queen had to move all their books and letters out of the rooms before levees. So a passage to connect the palace with Clarence House was built. On King William's death in 1837 Princess Augusta, George III's daughter, took the house until her own death three years later.
