	Scotland Office - Dover House - The Building
		Holland's solution was brilliant; he gave the Duke a splendid and impressive entrance hall with a magnificent parade up to the first floor state rooms, banishing the stairs to a new wing on the south side of the house, and thus creating a sweeping entry into the grand suite of reception rooms.
		Holland's original first floor plan showed the three principal rooms of similar dimensions whereas in actuality there is a niche in the ante-room giving access to the principal rooms; the cornices in the second and third rooms are early to mid 19th century in style and are likely to be part of Lord Dover's work.
		It is a matter of speculation whether Holland's drawings were amended as a result of the transition, with perhaps the simpler joinery in the great rooms being a reflection of the taste of the Melbourne's.

		He was a contemporary of such architects as James Wyatt, George Dance (ii) and John Soane, yet he took little part in professional competition and concentrated on a comparatively limited number of commissions, most of which involved not only building and decoration but also the furnishing of principal rooms.
		He was the eldest son of Henry Holland (1712–85), a successful builder, and received his training in the family firm, at that time engaged on several notable houses in London and the provinces.
		This was soon to become a stronghold of the Whig aristocracy, from which Holland’s future patrons were almost exclusively to be drawn.

	'Like a Roman sepulchre': John Soane's design for a Castello d'acqua at Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, and its Italian ...
		Although constructed in 1793, the design origins of this idiosyncratic building lie in the fantastical neo-classical projects which--like the architects Sir William Chambers (1723-1796) and Robert Adam (1728-1792) before him--Soane had been inspired to invent when confronted in Italy by the remains of classical antiquity.
		Remains that, emerging from the overburden of centuries of rubbish, were themselves the object of intense archaeological interest.
		In 1776 Soane--then an assistant in the office of the architect Henry Holland (1745-1806)--won the gold medal for architecture of the Royal Academy Schools, and was awarded a three-year travelling scholarship to Rome in December of the following year.

		Since he was underage and since the Catholic ceremony was not recognized under English law, Prinny was free to marry again — to Princess Caroline of Brunswick in 1795.
		Despite its oriental lines, life within the Pavilion was stuffy owing to the heat of the patent stoves and the gas lighting (itself an innovation).
