Reginald Hall is a huge Palladian Styled Mansion located on the huge The Reginald Estate. The main building (this lot) is divided into three wings, the central wing , and the left and right wing. The left and right wing are similar in detail from the exterior. The interior of both wing are also the same in terms of room sizes. There are also two other wings that are not connected to The manor has been home to the House Of Nairs for 300 over years and continues to serve as a private royal estate.

The Main Wings
The Construction of the first wing began on the 13th of February 1683. The architects assigned to the task of designing the Manor were Sir George Frederick Conyngham (1611 - 1700) And Lord Penyingsworth (1633 - 1715). On the 31st of November, 1686, the main wing was pronounced complete.

The Construction of the the side wings was briefly on hold due to the death of King Cornelius II. Construction was to begin on the 4th of January 1687, but was postponed to the 15th of May of 1687. The new King Reginald I took charge of the construction of his father's countryside mansion. Construction of both side wings were completed by 1689. The royal household began occupying the mansion in 1690.

The Cornelius Wing
During the construction of the mansion, Reginald noticed that the house wasn't big enough to host all his parties. So, he hired Russian architect, Dmitri Tsirkinov to design a new wing for the Mansion. Dmitri was one of the under architects of the Hermitage(also known as the winter palace ) and saw this as his opportunity to make his mark in the world. The Cornelius wing was successfully added to the estate in 1692.

The Arabella Wing
The Arabella wing was added to the estate in 1699. Construction began shortly after Reginald died. The Arabella wing was added by his son, Reginald II. He built the wing for his new bride, Arabella. The wing was to face the Cornelius wing and was to look exactly like the exterior of the Cornelius wing on the outside. But, was to look completely different on the inside. The wing comprises of a theatre and marble saloon.
