Melbourne House and part of the Old Treasury, Whitehall

Adjoining the Horse Guards was Melbourne House, built by Sir Matthew Featherstonehaugh and afterwards purchased by Lord Melbourne, who exchanged it with the Duke of York for York House, Piccadilly. The Duke added the fronts and the dome-portico across the street. When the Duke removed to Portman Square the house was returned to Lord Melbourne.
