The Upper Assembly Rooms, which is the scene of much drama this week, were opened in 1771. Known as the New or Upper Rooms (to distinguish them from the older Assembly Rooms in the lower part of the town) they were designed by John Wood the Younger. The picture above is the exterior of the building, and those below from the inside, with the appropriate quote so you can picture Anne and Frederick in them. The link at the end is to the official website for the Assembly Rooms. Enjoy! ;-)

"Sir Walter, his two daughters, and Mrs. Clay were the earliest of all their party at the rooms in the evening; and as Lady Dalrymple must be waited for, they took their station by one of the fires in the Octagon Room." (ch 20)
