Drury House

Residential Buildings

Drury House was a historic building on Wych Street in London, owned by Sir Robert Drury, for whom Drury Lane is named. In 1601 it served as a meeting place for Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and his accomplices as they plotted against Elizabeth I. The building was later reconstructed as Craven House. Surviving documentation of Drury House is limited, and no construction date, architect or architectural style for the original building is recorded.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
