Its location, and demolition edit

The sources do not say why it was demolished. Looking at the plan of the premises in 1718, shown in the British History Online ref, the house seems to have been where Westminster tube station is now. That article says that the station was opened in 1868, and that it was originally a temporary structure. It could be supposed that the requirement for building work for the station is related to the demolition of Fife House in 1869. However, this is a guess, not for inclusion in this article.
