Carlton House

​

How do you research a building that doesn't exist anymore?

​

With lots of patience!

Thankfully, Carlton House was a royal residence, so there is ample documentation.

 

Key Sites:

​

The Lothians Blog was invaluable. They detailed floor by floor, almost a virtual tour, of Carlton house with blueprints and artistic renderings of the rooms.

Additionally, the Royal Collection Trust is a wealth of information and primary sources! www.rct.uk
