Rosenbad is a building in central Stockholm, designed by Art Nouveau architect Ferdinand Boberg and completed in 1902. Originally housing a variety of functions, including a restaurant of the same name, it now functions as the Prime Minister's Office and the Government Chancellery in Sweden. It is located close to the Sager House, the official residence of the Prime Minister and across the streams from the Riksdag building and the Royal Palace.

Prescott, Ontario, Lighthouse
A redbrick building, constructed along the waterfront in Prescott in 1900 by the Imperial Starch Company, served as a Dominion Lighthouse Depot from 1903 to 1985. During World War II, war materials were manufactured in the building. The Canadian Coast Guard occupied the building in 1962 but moved into a new facility in 1985, and the old lighthouse depot was demolished in 1986.
An oversized lantern room that was mounted atop the lighthouse depot and used to train lighthouse keepers was retained and placed atop a tower built by the local Rotary Club at the harbour in 1989. The base of the modern tower is home to an ice cream shop during the summer, and visitors are allowed to climb the tower and admire a Fresnel Lens.
The Old District Office North was built around 1907, shortly after the New Territories was leased to Britain in 1898. It was the earliest seat of the colonial civil administration in the 'new territories'.
Kentwell - a very different experience: a romantic, completely moated, mellow redbrick Tudor mansion in a tranquil parkland setting - but so much more.
A 30+ years Restoration Project
In 1970 Kentwell stood neglected. No-one was prepared to take it on - except Patrick Phillips. He fell for this wonderful House in its magical setting and was not deterred by its condition. Ever since then he has, with his wife and family, sought to bring Kentwell back to life. Their works have taken part of the House and its 15th Century Service Building back to the 16th Century. Elsewhere changes reflect their own preferences. House, Gardens & Farm have an unrivalled ability to captivate the visitor.
Take a glimpse into both the past and present of this unique House. Enjoy its delightful Gardens. You can do this whenever you come but especially if you visit during one of the award-winning Re-Creations of Tudor or WWII Everyday Life and (recently) Victorian life. Kentwell pioneered Tudor domestic Living History Events in the UK, and nearly 30 years on the Re-Creations are as magical as ever.
In 1897, a retired military man, Major Pawley, acquired the site. He built eight redbrick townhouses at great cost, and the highest of architectural standards. These are the buildings that make up the two Taj hotels today, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, and St. James’ Court A Taj Hotel.
London’s royal, cultural, political and social elite favored the location within walking distance of the Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St James Palace, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral.
In 1982, the Indian Hotels Company Ltd. (Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces) acquired St. James' Court which was operated as the Taj Crowne Plaza London – St James for many years. The TataGroup converted and refurbished the old Crowne Plaza at 54 Buckingham Gate into the 342-room St. James Court, A Taj Hotel in 2014.
Taj Hotels Resorts andf Palaces is operated by Indian Hotels Company, which is owned by the TATA Group. The TATA Group also owns Jaguar, Land Rover and Tetley Tea. Effective 2021 Mehrnavaz Avari is the UK area director and general manager of the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences and St James Court hotel in London. Avari was previously deputy general manager of IHCL's Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai. She graduated with a Masters of Management at Cornell University in New York and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. She succeeds Digvijay Singh is general manager.
