Historical Background Admiralty House has played a leading part in Plymouth’s maritime history for more than 200 years. Having been in government control since the early 1800s, only a privileged few have been able to wander around the Grand Ballroom or make the most of the stunning waterfront location. Originally named Government House, it was completed in 1793 having been built for the Governor of Plymouth. In 1803 it was passed onto the General Office Commanding Western District, a senior military department overseeing the whole of the Westcountry. More than a century passed before the then Commander-in Chief, Vice Admiral Sir Eric Fullerton, realised how much better this residence was compared to his own. He wrote to the Secretary of the Admiralty requesting a move to Government House; ‘It has a dignified and good approach and the entrance to the Hamoaze is visible from the House. The grounds are more spacious and there is ample room for entertaining’. Thus Government House became Admiralty House. During World War II several bombs fell close to Admiralty House but, unlike much of Plymouth, it remained relatively unscathed. It was in 1954 that Admiralty House was declared to be of architectural and historical interest under the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947 and was given Grade II Listed status. A little more than four decades later, the post of Port Admiral Plymouth was abolished and Admiralty House then reopened to provide enviable accommodation for eight Captains from the Plymouth area. Throughout its history, the house has witnessed many key events and has welcomed a long list of distinguished guests, including Sir Winston Churchill, King George V, the Queen Mother and more recently HRH Princess Anne.
