The Grande Bretagne was converted to an hotel about 1877; previously it had served as the temporary home for the Ecole Francaise d'Athenes https://www.flickr.com/photos/athens_greece/11144320516/in/set-72157639314071925, in what was the first private building of Syntagma Square -- namely the mansion built by a merchant named Dimitriou.This building was located where the hotel is now (obviously), on the north eastern part of the square near to the palace. 2.101.135.255 (talk) 16:34, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
