The Great Room or Library at Kenwood House in London, built from 1767-1770, was and still is considered the creme de la crème of English interior architecture during the reign of the Hanoverian Kings.

The designer of the Great Room, Robert Adam was a Scottish neoclassical architect during the Georgian Era. (All the Hanoverian Kings were named George.) This period spanned most of the 18th and early 19^th centuries and Adam was singularly responsible for the revival of classical architecture throughout the west from 1760 till the end of the 18^th century.

Trivia: Hanoverian King, George III, prime American Revolutionary War antagonist, ruled England during the height of Robert Adam’s influence on architecture and interior design.
