King's House

Large building on Queen's Gardens on Kingsway, built in the 1870s. The architect was Sir James Knowles, intended as part of a masterplan for the area surrounding Grand Avenue which failed to materialise. Originally a hotel, the Prince's Hotel, the building was requisitioned by the Admiralty in the Second World War, before becoming the offices of the South East Electricity Board (Seeboard) in 1947. In 1996 the building was sold to Brighton and Hove Council, who occupied it until the mid 2010s. In 2017 it was sold to developers and has now been converted to flats. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205528?section=official-listing.
