Where did Brit. PM G. Grenville live in Feb 1764 when he hosted meeting of colonial agents on new stamp tax ?

Prime Minister George Grenville, also First Lord of the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exchequer, lived at 10 Downing Street, London, from 1763 to1765.





In 1732 King George II offered 10 Downing Street and the "house at the back" to Robert Walpole (often called the first Prime Minister) in gratitude for his services to the nation. Walpole accepted only on the condition that they would be a gift to the office of First Lord of the Treasury rather than to himself personally. The King agreed and "ownership" has passed ever since to each incoming First Lord. Between 1732 and 1735, Walpole commissioned the renowned architect William Kent to join the two houses. It is this larger house that is known as No 10 Downing Street.





As generous as the King's gift may seem in hindsight, the arrangement was not an immediate success. Despite its impressive size and convenient location, No 10 was not an attractive place to live. Partly, this was due to its poor construction on boggy soil and to chronic neglect in properly maintaining it. More important, Walpole set an example not a rule and the position of Prime Mininster did not become an established part of the British constitution until early in the nineteenth century; it was not invariably linked to the office of First Lord of the Treasury until the twentieth. Like the Prime Ministry, No 10 had a rocky history for many years after 1735. Some Prime Ministers lived there, many did not. Some loved it; others hated it. Costly to maintain, neglected, and rundown, the house was close to being razed several times.





Grenville was one PM who lived there.
