Montagu
House, named after the first Duke of Montagu,
the owner in the 18th century, was the amalgamation
of two late seventeenth century houses, plus
the distinctive addition known as Park Corner
House (seen in the painting), which was added
in 1729.
Montagu House was occupied by Caroline of
Brunswick, consort to the Prince of Wales
(later George IV), from 1799 until 1812. It
was demolished in 1815.
