Buildings on West Side of the Old Steine, c. 1890: Marlborough House built in 1765 is the oldest remaining house on the Steine, and gained its name when owned by the fourth Duke of Marlborough between 1771 and 1786. In this photograph it was then the Brighton Board School Office. Steine House, built in 1804 for Maria Fitzherbert, is now a YMCA hostel. Blenheim House was then The Albany School for Girls. Victoria Fountain, supported by three entwined dolphins on a base of sarsen stones was installed at the centre of the Steine by Amon Henry Wilds in 1846.
