Longwood House
Longwood House was the residence of Napoleon Bonaparte, during his exile on the island of Saint Helena, from 10 December 1815 until his death on 5 May 1821. It lies on a windswept plain some from Jamestown.
==History==
Formerly the summer residence of the lieutenant governor, it was converted for the use of Napoleon in 1815. The British government recognised its inadequacy as a home for the former Emperor and his entourage, and by the time of his death had built a new house for him nearby, which he never occupied. In February 1818 Governor Sir Hudson Lowe proposed to Lord Bathurst to move Napoleon to Rosemary Hall, a house that became available and was located in a more hospitable part of the island, sheltered from the winds and shaded, as Napoleon had preferred.〔Albert Benhamou, ''L'autre Sainte-Hélène: la captivité, la maladie, la mort, et les médecins autour de Napoléon'', 2010, p.138, extract from the ''Lowe Papers''〕 But the revelations of General Gourgaud in London brought Lord Bathurst to the opinion that it was safer to keep Napoleon at Longwood, where an escape was harder to undertake. So the building of the new house only began in October 1818, three years after Napoleon's arrival on the island.
