Pembroke-House, Whitehall-Gardens, the Office of the Minister-at-War, 1854. Government buildings in London. 'The concentration of Government Offices which occupy a portion of the site of the extensive Palace of Whitehall, has recently received the addition of Pembroke House...official residence of the new War Minister, His Grace the Duke of Newcastle. Pembroke House is one of the mansions which were erected upon the gardens, grounds, and site of the old palace, after the great fire of 1698. It is a stately edifice...the approach from Whitehall gardens is through a large and lofty gate...Adjoining the above front is an ivied wall, part of a bastion, and a fragment of the palace - a blocked-up arch - facing Whitehall-yard. Here also are the offices of three minor departments of the War-Office; so that this new location of its Minister is likely to prove a convenient choice'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
