Main stairway of Gower House, London, designed by Sir William Chambers in 1766. The house, a rare domestic commission fo Chambers, was demolished in 1886.
All that survives from this building is some furniture. I couldn’t find any specific reason for its demolition, but as a private residence in Whitehall the odds were always against it.

I went down a google hole trying to work out where this was. Apparently 21-23 Whitehall, and later became known as Lord Carrington’s House. Google maps isn;t helpful, but I’m guessing it’s opposite the Trafalgar Studios, spitting distance from Horseguards Parade – where there is either a Victorian Office Building, or a Victorian pub. A few places seem to list it on Scotland Yard.
