The Admiralty, also known as the Ripley Building, is an office building in London, England.
History
Designed and built in 1726 by English architect Thomas Ripley, the Admiralty was the first ever office building in London. Originally built to house the now-defunct organisation in charge of the Royal Navy, the U-shaped building contained a board room, state rooms, and apartments for the Lords of the Admiralty.[1]
By 1759, the city had widened the street in front of the Admiralty, cutting into their courtyard. The Lords of the Admiralty commissioned a new façade to run along the street. In 1964, the Admiralty became the home of the then-newly established Department for International Development.[1]
