| Discussion | Banqueting House Commentary
"...Jones built a new Banqueting House at Whitehall Palace for James I, to replace a previous one destroyed by fire. When the Banqueting House in London was completed, it bore no resemblance to anything ever built in England before....It consists of one great cubic room that served for royal receptions, ceremonies, and the performance of masques. The exterior elevation has three levels: a rusticated base; a first story with a series of windows crowned by alternating segmental and triangular pediments on brackets separated by engaged Ionic columns, and pilasters that are doubled at the ends of the building; and a second story with Corinthian columns and pilasters that correspond to those below, as do the windows (but with straight cornices), and with a garland swag tying the capitals together beneath the flat balustraded roof." — Marvin Trachtenberg and Isabelle Hyman. Architecture: from Prehistory to Post-Modernism. p378-9. Address Whitehall, directly across from the Horse Guards, telephone: 930-4179. | ||||
