Site History THE QUEEN S HOTEL The Queen s Hotel was originally built as a private residence for Sir John and Lady Morris. It was called Southsea House and was designed by the architect Augustus Livesay in 1861. It was later transformed into the Queen s Hotel, one of the first hotels in Southsea, by William Kemp Junior. In the early hours of the morning on December 8th 1891 the hotel was destroyed by fire. The fire started near the kitchen and rapidly spread, killing two chambermaids trapped by falling masonry. The hotel was rebuilt in 1903 by the architect T.W.Cutler who transformed it into the building that stands overlooking the common today with its Edwardian style in brown and cream terracotta.
