		As a recognised establishment architect Blore was involved in many other projects related to the British Empire, this included Government House in Sydney, Australia, which he designed circa 1870 in the form of Gothic castle.

		The palace, originally known as Buckingham House, was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1762 as a private residence.
		By 1847, the couple had found the palace too small for court life and their growing family, and as a result the new wing, designed by William IV's architect Edward Blore, was built, enclosing the quadrangle which is the centre of the palace.
		George V, who had succeeded Edward VII in 1910, had a more serious personality than his father, which was reflected in life at the palace: greater emphasis was now placed on official entertaining and royal duties than on lavish parties and having fun.

		Access to the library has been allowed to scholars since 1610, and the claim is often put forward that this collection therefore constitutes the oldest public library in England, but this seems to be a superficial gloss over the truth that, for large sections of the population, this access was never allowed.

		"Blore the bore," as he came to be known, took over the decoration of Buckingham Palace after Nash was dismissed by George IV's successor, William IV, for his "inexcusable irregularity and great negligence." Blore was a beacon of probity, but not of talent.
		He is the reason why the Throne Room, the red chamber where knights are dubbed beneath a plaster frieze of roly-poly figures enacting scenes from the Wars of the Roses, is so curiously ungrand.
		Not all of that is Blore's fault -- the squat thrones themselves, one with EIIR embroidered on it and the other with P for Philip, were done in 1953 and look Hollywood-Ruritanian, if not suburban.
