Background

History

by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, 1862. It features a view of the historic Hotham House from across the Thames>]] The original Hotham House, built in 1720, fell into disrepair and collapsed in 1960, and was demolished. The name of the building came from Admiral Sir William Hotham, who lived there in 1810. The name was resurrected in the 1980s as part of the new Richmond Riverside development.

Architecture

Construction of the redeveloped series of buildings began in 1984 and finished in 1987 in a £20m renovation funded by the Pension Fund Property Unit Trust. The buildings, designed by Quinlan Terry in a New Classical style, were opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 October 1988. eBay opened their London office there in 2003.
