The palace of Westminster England

A Rejected Gift

1834
Buckingham Palace, London, England, United Kingdom

Immediately after the fire, King William IV offered the almost-completed Buckingham Palace to Parliament, hoping to dispose of a residence he disliked. The building was considered unsuitable for parliamentary use, however, and the gift was rejected.
