Jamaican High Commission
Just around the corner from Royal Albert Hall, the Jamaican High Commission is just south of Hyde Park, in the center of the area sometimes referred to as "Albertopolis." It was built in 1878 as two separate houses, known at the time as "Lowther Gardens." The architect was Scottish, John James Stevenson (1831-1908), The building is in the style known in Britain as "Queen Anne," much praised at the time for its use of "honest red brick" (as opposed to the lying and deceitful white stucco of so many mid-Victorian houses.)
