Pritchett House is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Delamaria, and is the seat of Delamarian executive power. The building is part of the Westcourt Complex, which comprises of numerous interconnected government buildings. The house was originally the Labrador home of the Earl of Colborn, and was redeveloped in 1819 before the Colborn estate was bought by the government. The building was originally to be pulled down in 1830 to make way for the Colonial Office, but the Foreign Secretary who then resided there vetoed the construction, and since 1839 it was the home of the President or Prime Minister of Delamaria. Some Presidents opted to live in Galverston House across King Frederick Square or sometimes Wolfguard House in outer Labrador, and when Presidents resided in Pritchett House, the Prime Minister would often live in Montmaine House, formerly Stanchester Place.
