The New Houses of Parliament - Doorway of the Serjeant-at-Arms' Residence, 1854. Interior of the Palace of Westminster, London, designed in Victorian Gothic style by Augustus Pugin. 'This doorway is seen on the north side of the Speaker's Court, and forms a pleasing object, whether seen directly on entering the Court, or viewed from the farther courts, through whose arched openings it is shown as a rich finish to the vista. The Residence, to which this is the Entrance, will shortly he completed. The fittings-up, both in the master's and servants' hall, are being studied with scrupulous care, so as to carry out the character of the architecture of the building'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
