Designed with the assistance of French architect Joseph-Guillaume Legrand and probably also influenced by the works of English architect Sir John Soane, the house that was built upon their return to the United States in 1804 (now known as Gore Place) is one of the finest extant examples of Federalist architecture.
It also betrays the influence of English architect Sir John Soane, some of whose designs the Gores may have seen on tours of England.
In 1795, Sir John Soane constructed a dedicated schoolroom for the school – his only building in Winchester.
The original house which stood here, and its grounds which make up the present park, was once the property of John Soane the architect, who bought it in 1800.
