'Brick Gate House for a Royal Hunting Lodge in St. James's', c1935. St James's Palace on Pall Mall in the City of Westminster, central London, was commissioned by King Henry VIII. It became the official London residence of the monarch in 1698, but lost that status after being damaged by fire in 1809.
