Its 18th-century Palladian architecture is much older than the Victorian Gothic of the Royal Courts of Justice.

A historic building in Whitehall, originally the gateway to Whitehall Palace and barracks for the Royal Guard. Built between 1750 and 1759, it is an important example of Palladian architecture. Currently, it houses the Household Cavalry Museum and is the site of the famous Changing of the Horse Guards. It serves as a backdrop for Horse Guards Parade.
