Syon House in London was rebuilt from 1547 to 1552 for the 1st Duke of Somerset, and the article names no architect for that work. Robert Adam redesigned the interiors from 1762 for Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, and work ceased in 1769. The infobox and text agree on these dates. The article calls the original style Italian Renaissance.
Adam's interiors are an eclectic neoclassical mix with Roman, Picturesque, Baroque, Mannerist and Gothic influences. The Long Gallery is about 136 feet (41 m) long and 14 feet (4.3 m) wide. A central rotunda he planned was never built because of cost. The park covers 200 acres (80 hectares).
Bath stone refacing and a redesigned north range came in the 1820s, and Victorian ceilings in the 1860s. The house opened to the public in 1951, and the family rooms in 1995. The Duke of Northumberland still owns it. The article gives no hours.
