Building

The Embassy is located in 17 Grosvenor Place - a Grade II Listed Building.

Built in 1868, this terraced town mansion is owned by the Duke of Westminster and was designed by British architect Thomas Cundy III.[3] The building is designed in the eclectic "French Renaissance" style.

In exchange for the construction of the building, the Duke of Westminster leased the building to Robert John Waller for a period of 90 years until 1957. Waller leased the building to Arthur Wilson, who lived in the building until his death in 1909.

Upon Waller's death, the lease was passed to Arthur Ernest Guinness, a member of the Guinness family. Guinness surrendered the lease to the Duke of Westminster in 1948, who in turn leased the building to the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland.[4]

gollark: <@184468521042968577> You know, a structure of ```lua{ ["a/b/c"] = "hugeblank's bad code"}```would be better for writes and stuff but worse for listing.Also, you can convert paths to a "canonical form" with `fs.combine(path, "") `.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/G2PMCNhFSkynet: simple websocket-based data transfer (ask if you want the server code).Use with `local skynet = require "skynet"````skynet.receive(channel) - receive a message on the given channelskynet.send(channel, data) - send a message (can be any JSON-serializable type) on the given channelskynet.listen() - convert "websocket_message"s to "skynet_message"sskynet.open(channel) - kind of internal, open "channel" - returns a raw websocket, which you must not use or else.```
gollark: I made a coroutine manager which kills the regular CC loop (run rednet & shell in `parallel.waitForAny`) and provides a convenient API for running your own processes.https://pastebin.com/HL0SZhJG
