Description: | The Savoy Palace, originally a home to the Count of Savoy in the 13th century, was rebuilt in 1501 as a hospital for the poor. This lasted until 1702, when the hospital was formally dissolved. By the late-18th century most of the buildings were in ruins and the whole site was demolished to make room for the approach to Waterloo Bridge in the early 19th century. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Architecture | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Prout, J | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
