Marble Hill House is a Palladian villa built between 1724 and 1729 in Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The compact design soon became famous and furnished a standard model for the Georgian English villa and for plantation houses in the American colonies. ==Description==
Marble Hill House was built in 1724–1729 by Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, the mistress of King George II,〔Marie P. G. Draper and W.A. Eden, ''Marble Hill House and its Owners'' 1970.〕 to the designs of the architect Roger Morris (1695–1749) in collaboration with Henry Herbert, 9th Earl of Pembroke, one of the "architect earls". Pembroke, then Lord Herbert, based the design of Marble Hill to a large degree on Andrea Palladio's 1553 ''Villa Cornaro'' in Piombino Dese, Italy, and thus incorporated a cubic saloon on the first floor or ''piano nobile''.〔(RIBA "Palladio and Britain" )〕 ''Villa Cornaro'' also served as a model for plantation houses in the American colonies, examples being Drayton Hall (1738–1742) in Charleston, South Carolina, and Thomas Jefferson's initial version of Monticello (1768–1770). It was in other respects an adaptation of a more expansive design by Colen Campbell. It is set in 66 acres (2.67 km²) of parkland known as ''Marble Hill Park''. The ''Great Room'' contains lavishly gilded decoration and five capricci paintings by Giovanni Paolo Pannini. Marble Hill House also contains a loaned collection of early Georgian furniture and paintings as well as the Chinoiserie collection of the Lazenby Bequest.〔John Jacob and Elizabeth Einberg, ''Marble Hill House, Catalogue''〕
