What happened to Soane's work at the Bank of England?

  • Largely destroyed

  • Perfectly preserved

  • Never built

  • Moved to another location

Answer

Largely destroyed, Soane's work at the Bank of England was a significant loss. The original building, designed by Soane, was a masterpiece of architecture and a testament to his skill. However, a fire in 1839 caused extensive damage, and much of Soane's work was lost. The building was subsequently rebuilt, but it lacked the grandeur and elegance of Soane's original design.
