The east front of Buckingham Palace, photographed at dusk, displays the neoclassical grandeur of Britain’s royal residence. Designed by architect Sir Aston Webb and completed in 1913, the symmetrical limestone facade is illuminated softly against a violet evening sky. Ornate wrought-iron gates adorned with gilded royal crests frame the main entrance, while gas-style lamps evoke the palace’s Edwardian-era detailing. The balanced rhythm of Corinthian pilasters and sash windows underscores the building’s enduring place as both a functioning royal residence and an architectural symbol of the British monarchy.
