Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 255. Pp. Light Green Cloth Stamped In Dark Green. First Printing Stated. Would Be Near Fine But Front Endpaper With Ownership Signature And Addresses Of Mrs. F. J., Wessels, Probably The Woman Of That Name Mentioned In Chicago Newspapers Of The 1920'S, And Her Notes And Check Marks And Comments, Partly Obscured By The Remnants Of A Newspaper Clipping Which Was Placed Over The Writing. The Addresses Include The Very Notable Queen Anne's Mansions In London. Per Wikipedia "Queen Anne's Mansions Was A Block Of Flats In Petty France, Westminster, London, At Grid Reference Tq296795. In 1873, Henry Alers Hankey Acquired A Site Between St. James's Park And St. James' Park Station. Acting As His Own Architect, And Employing His Own Labour, He Proceeded To Erect The First Stage Of The Block. At Twelve Stories, Later Increased To Fourteen, It Was The Loftiest Residential Building In Britain. The Court Circular For January 1897 Describes It As "A Stupendous Pile Which, For Solidity, Comfort And General Convenience, Sets All Rivals At Defiance, Although Twenty Years Have Elapsed And Imitations Have Been Legion. Hankey Further Extended The Flats In 1874 And 1877 To The South And West. There Were Objections To The Height Of The Flats, Not Least From Queen Victoria Who Could No Longer View The Houses Of Parliament From Buckingham Palace, But Existing Legislation Did Not Explicitly Prohibit Building Over 100 Feet In Height, And Thus The Authorities Could Not Stop Hankey. However, The London Building Act Passed In 1894, And Its 80-Ft Height Limit, Was A Direct Result Of "Hankey's Mansions". It May Have Been Legal Complications That Led Him, For The Remainder Of The Work, To Employ An Architect, E. R. Robson. Robson Continued The Mansions Around The Central Courtyard, Leaving Queen Anne's Lodge As The Sole Survivor Of The Residential Properties That Had Formerly Stood On The Site. Just Before The Turn Of The Century, However, Hankey Ran Into Financial Difficulties And The Property Passed Into The Hands Of The Official Receiver. Under New Management, The West Block Became A Hotel And The Remainder Was Let As Flats And Service Suites. During The Second World War, The Entire Building Was Requisitioned As Government Offices, And It Was Decided To Construct A Shelter. A Long Room In The West Block, Originally A Theatre, Had Supporting Piers Built Up From The Foundation, And A Stout Reinforced Concrete Slab Was Laid To Give Head Cover. This Was A Wise Decision As Two Direct Bomb-Hits Caused Debris To Overload The Upper Floors, Causing A Vertical Gash Through The Entire Building. Queen Anne's Mansions Was Home To The Medical Department Of The Royal Navy (Admiralty) And The Women's Royal Naval Service During The Second World War. In 1947, The Ministry Of Works Retained The Building On A 21-Year Lease. It Was Used As An Admiralty Headquarters Building, Housing The Second Sea Lord's Or Naval Personnel Departments. Queen Anne's Mansions Was Demolished In 1973, And Later Replaced By 50 Queen Anne's Gate. The Tall Superstructures On British Battleships Constructed Or Rebuilt From The 1920S Onwards, Beginning With The Nelson-Class, Were Colloquially Referred To As 'Queen Anne's Mansions'.".
