The Queen s House, Greenwich, is a former royal residence built between 1616a 1619 in Greenwich, then a few miles downriver from London, and now a district of the city. Its architect was Inigo Jones, for whom it was a crucial early commission, for Anne of Denmark, the queen of King James I of England. It was altered and completed by Jones, in a second campaign about 1635 for Henrietta Maria, queen of King Charles I. 1 The Queen s House is one of the most important buildings in British architectural history, being the first consciously classical building to have been constructed in Britain. It was Jones s first major commission after returning from his 1613a 1615 grand tour 2 of Roman, Renaissance and Palladian architecture in Italy.
