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.

King's House, Grand Avenue, Hove
Originally built between 1871-74 as part a terrace called Queen's Gardens containing seven individual mansions built in an Italianate style. The corner was originally occupied by Princes Hotel which later extended eastwards to include the whole block. In 1948 the hotel was acquired by Seeboard who turned into their head office which was remodelled in 1981. The electricity company sold it to the council in the 1990s where it acquired its current name. There have been substantial reports since around 2013 that the council intend to vacate and sell the building in order to cover the substantial cuts from central government.
