Style (High Victorian Gothic): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Victorian_Gothic

Like all the structures established during the building of Carlisle Mansion Estates, Minister House is a five story High Victorian Gothic high-rise of red brick alternating with white stone.

Character

Minister House is a Chantry of Ex Miscellanea. Due to the various nature of the cabals that live here, and the slightly Quiet nature of Holgram Barns, the House has a strange, uncanny air about it. Strange shadows and voices are heard, and not every room seems to hold still. Sometimes the library is on the third floor, sometimes on another. Not every window shows the scenes of current London outside it, sometimes there are scenes from the under the ocean, sometimes from other places and times. Rufus Teage swears that once he saw a city of lights and strange flying conveyances.
Minister House Chantry is dedicated to the binding together of the disparate magics of the cabals who call it home. Many of them have begun to battle the rising power of the Technocracy, and several are wary survivors of the winnowing of the Order. All of the House understands that they are outsiders trying to get recognition by the main Order. Because of that there is an air of competition and desire to serve the Order and prove their worth. There is much research being done here. Minister House appears to be a upscale apartment building or a private hotel. In actuality this five story high-rise serves as a testing ground and harbor for potential Ex Miscellanea mages.
The Chantry is in Summer.
