Answer
Queen's House, designed by Inigo Jones, is the first pure classical style building in England. Built between 1616 and 1635, it is characterized by its symmetrical facade, pedimented portico, and classical detailing. The building's design was inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome and Greece, and it marked a departure from the more ornate and Gothic styles that had been prevalent in England up to that point.
