The facade of the house, as depicted in this image, boasts a harmonious blend of Baroque and Palladian influences, with its grand arched windows, intricate stonework, and elegant balconies. The Dukes of Devonshire, one of the most influential and powerful families in England, held court within these walls. The house played host to lavish balls, grand dinners, and intellectual soirees, attracting the cream of London society.
