Adelaide Cottage
Adelaide Cottage (formerly, Adelaide Lodge) is a historic house in Windsor Home Park just east of Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom. Incorporating parts of John Nash's Royal Lodge from Windsor Great Park, it was re-erected in 1831, in the picturesque style for Queen Adelaide.[1][2] Architect Jeffry Wyatville oversaw the construction.[3] When it was first built, the house was described as "chastely elegant" and having two public rooms, in addition to a retiring room for the Queen, and a pages' room, as well as furnishings from the former royal lodge and a marble fireplace mantel in the regency Graeco-Egyptian style.[4] The ceiling of its principal bedroom reuses decorative elements, including gilt dolphins and ropes, from the former royal yacht, HMY Royal George. It is listed Grade II* by Historic England and located between Adelaide Road and Queen Victoria's Walk.[1][5]
