Inigo Jones Banqueting House as Receptions Centre for Whitehall, 22nd September 1964. The Banqueting House in Whitehall, built by Inigo Jones between 1619 and 1622, has been restored almost to its original condition. To mark the occasion, the Minister of Public Building and Works, Mr G Rippon, MP, is to hold a reception there this evening and the building will be open to the public from 10 am the following day. Besides being open to the public, it is intended to use the Banqueting House on occasions for Government receptions and as a hall where concerts of a non-profit-making nature can be held. The Banqueting House is the only important part of Whitehall Palace that escaped the fire of 1698. Since Victorian Times the building has been used by the Royal United Service Institution as a museum for military relics. The beauty of the hall, with a gallery all round and a ceiling of nine panels painted by Rubens, will be more widely enjoyed. The £40,000 restoration scheme has been carried out by the Ministry of Public Building. Various alterations made to accommodate the Museum exhibits have been removed and the hall restored as far as possible to the original design. Photo Shows: A view from the Gallery looking towards the main doors. The ceiling consists of magnificent panels by Rubens.
