BRANDENBURG HOUSE, a quondam mansion in Middlesex; on the Thames, adjacent to Hammersmith. It was built, in the time of Charles I., by Sir Nicholas Crispe, at a cost of £23,000: sold by Crispe's heir to Prince Rupert; passed to Mrs. Margaret Hughes, Bubb-Dodington, and the Margrave of Bradenburg-Anspach; became the residence and death-place of the queen of George IV.; and was, not long after, razed to the ground.
