**************************************
Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat.
Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo.
The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main facade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple i
...n 1847.
An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house, though the original entrance portico survives as the main gateway to the walled garden.
