Fife House
Fife House, No 1, Lewes Crescent, is a Grade I listed building in Kemp Town, Brighton, United Kingdom, which was previously owned by the Duke of Devonshire and the Duke of Fife; it is not to be confused with the former Fife House, Whitehall, in London.
==History==
Fife House was originally built in 1828 by Thomas Cubitt, as part of the Kemp Town estate planned by Thomas Read Kemp, and designed by Charles Busby and Amon Wilds. It was bought in 1829 by the William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire. He had the property, situated at 1, Lewes Crescent, joined internally by Thomas Cubitt, using workmen from Chatsworth, to an adjacent property he also owned at 14, Chichester Terrace.〔(Daily Telegraph ''Oh my lord!'' 10 July 2006 )〕 The Duke had the property redecorated by John Gregory Crace in 1848, and lived there until his death in 1858.
The Duke of Fife lived in the property from 1896,〔(Kemp Town history )〕 with his wife, Princess Louise, the daughter of King Edward VII. The house was named ''Fife House'' at that time.〔(The Independent ''Squatters invade £2m Regency house'' 11 December 2008 )〕 King Edward visited the house on a number of occasions, most notably staying there during his convalescence in 1908. It was for this reason that the ''King's toilet'' was installed in the house. Princess Louise lived in the property until 1924.〔(My Brighton & Hove )〕
From 1947 and for most of the rest of the 20th century, Fife House was the home of the Weston family, who founded and ran the nearby Nevill House Hotel.
