 History of Burlington House
The original house was built for the reception of his new bride, Margaret Brooke, a niece of the Earl of Bristol.
Little is known about the house or its occupants during the next forty years except that, in 1816, it was used to house the famous Elgin Marbles brought home from Greece by the archaeologist, Lord Elgin, pending their eventual transfer to the British Museum.
The purpose was to house a new Royal Academy, the University of London, a museum of patented inventions, and to provide accommodation for "at least six of the principal learned and scientific societies who, by past usage, have acquired claims to be lodged at public expense".

 Images of Chiswick House by Lord Burlington
Burlington was recognized during his time (admittedly in part by his friends) as "The Apollo of the Arts" (Horace Walpole), a "modern Vitruvius" (Daniel Defoe), and "the Palladio and [Inigo] Jones of our times" (Scipio Maffei and Alexander Pope) (Harris, 5, 19).
Burlington had seen Palladio's Rotonda in Vicenza, but scholars attribute Burlington's particular debt to Palladio's student, Vincenzo Scamozzi, especially his Rocca Pisani near Vicenza as well as his Villa Molini.
Harris explains that Burlington saw in Palladio's Palazzo Thiene the "bugnato rustico type of rustication of stone, a sort of vermiculation, with its precedents in the Roman renaissance and antiquity" which Burlington applied "to Chiswick and elsewhere for the first time in England" (63).
