Houghton House was a three-story stately home built in 1621 & is reputedly the model for "House Beautiful" in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. It was abandoned in 1794 when the then Duke of Bedford stripped it of its furnishings and removed the roof.

    As a country house for a Duke I imagine it was fabulous. The is an illustration of what it did / probably looked like here. The angle is similar to that in #2.
