| - Cumberland House was a mansion on the south side of Pall Mall in London, England. It was built in the 1760s by Matthew Brettingham for Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany and was originally called York House. The Duke of York died in 1767 aged just twenty eight and the house was taken over by Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn, whose name it has retained. Brettingham's house was in a late Palladian style. It was seven bays wide with three main storeys plus basement and attics and was built of brick with stone dressings. The Duke of Cumberland made various alterations. He built a projecting west wing on the site of a neighbouring house that he purchased and added a pair of lodges flanking the forecourt, probably all to designs by Robert Adam. Adam also made many designs for remodelling the interiors, which are now in the collection at the Sir John Soane's Museum, but only a few of them were carried out. The Duke of Cumberland died in 1790, and in 1800, the widowed Duchess surrendered it to the banks who held mortgages on it. The house was sold to the Union Club in 1801 and in 1806 it was purchased by the Board of Ordnance. From 1858 it housed the War Office; a statue of Sidney Herbert was placed in the front courtyard in 1867. An eastern counterpart to the west wing was added in 1809. Cumberland House was used by the government for just over a hundred years. The War Office also acquired several neighbouring houses, including Schomberg House, and knocked them together to form a large office complex. Cumberland House was demolished in stages between 1908 and 1911. The site is now occupied by the Royal Automobile Club. (en)
- Cumberland House foi um palácio de Londres situado no lado sul do Pall Mall. Foi construído na década de 1760, por Matthew Brettingham, para o Príncipe Eduardo Augusto, Duque de York e Albany, sendo chamada originalmente de York House. O Duque de York faleceu em 1767, com apenas vinte e oito anos de idade, e o palácio foi tomado pelo , cujo nome reteve. O edifício desenhado por Brettingham apresentava um estilo Palladiano tardio. Tinha sete secções de largura, com três andares principais, mais cave e ático, tendo sido construído em tijolo com revestimentos de pedra. O Duque de Cumberland procedeu a várias alterações; construiu uma ala lançada a oeste, no local de uma casa vizinha que comprou entretanto, e adicionou um par de lojas flanqueando o pátio, tudo executado, provavelmente, segundo desenhos de Robert Adam. Adam também criou vários desenhos para remodelar os interiores, os quais se encontram, actualmente, na colecção do , embora só uma parte deles tenham sido executados. Cumberland House foi vendido ao Union Club em 1801, e em 1806 foi comprado pela Board of Ordnance (Comissão de Ordenança). Em 1809 foi adicionada uma ala que contrabalançava a ala oeste construída pelo Duque de Cumberland. A partir de 1858 passou a alojar o Gabinete de Guerra. Cumberland House foi usada pelo governo durante pouco mais de cem anos. O Gabinete de Guerra também adquiriu vários edifícios vizinhos, incluindo Schomberg House, e deitou-os abaixo para formar um grande complexo. Cumberland House foi demolido por etapas entre 1908 e 1911. O local onde se erguia é ocupado, actualmente, pelo Royal Automobile Club. (pt)
