34 Terrace Street

**34 Terrace Street** in Juneville, also known colloquially in Wiltshire as **Terrace Street**, is the official residence and executive office of the Prime Minister of Wiltshire. Along with the adjoining Cabinet Office along Terrace Street, it is the headquarters of the Government of Wiltshire.

Situated in northern Juneville, Terrace Street was constructed in 3003 as apart of the Juneville colony. As among the first constructions built to last beyond temporary settlement, it consisted of half a mile of rows of terraced housing. The building which comprises the Cabinet Office today had yet to be constructed, with the main terrace house being all that remains of the massive housing complex built during the time. In 3006, the house became the residence of Mr. Stewart Hoalder, who continued to own the property (which consists of two terrace houses) until 3011 when it was designated as the construction site of the new Cabinet Office.

Prior to the construction of the Cabinet Office, the government of Wiltshire had operated out of Old Government House, previously known by its address at Wraxall Avenue. This is where Prime Ministers Jaresh Inyo and Thomas Shore governed respectively between 3009 and 3010. The house was also the original housing for the Wiltshire National Assembly. Due to criticisms of the building's size being used for two major branches of government, the construction of the Terrace Street Cabinet Office was commissioned.

Originally intended to complete the demolish of the original line of terraced houses, the Cabinet Office was going to be a new building all together, which served as the office of the Prime Minister. Thomas Shore, the initiator of the project, said that the prime minister "need no formal lodgings". Shore often feared the office of prime minister becoming distant from the "general public" and encouraged the role to be seen more as another job rather than a senior or prestigious role.

However, upon Jaresh Inyo's return to power in 3010, Inyo scrapped the plan for the demolition of the terraced houses. Inyo himself had lived in one 14 Terrace Street prior to its demolish, an experience for which he developed a great love of the buildings themselves. The new plan saw the construction of the cabinet office surrounding the remaining two terraced houses at number 34. Construction began in 3011 and was concluded by the start of 3012. Prime Minister Inyo never got to live in Terrace Street himself, instead continuing to work from Wraxall House until the end of term and living at his own private residence at what became known as the Park Estate, Prime Minister Edward Jellico was the first to reside in Terrace Street formally and, by mid-3012, the large complex became the official offices and residence of the Wiltshirian cabinet office, civil service and office of the Prime Minister.

Since, Terrace Street has been occupied by every Prime Minister, with the exception of David Loynd (3015-3016), who returned to Wraxall House. Mr. Loynd, a historian, found the building to be a "far more authentic" representation of Wiltshirian government. The Wraxall building had since been abandoned by the Wiltshire National Assembly, leaving it as something of a museum. The building was only used formally between August and January 3016 and, upon Loynd's election defeat, Socialist Frank Eddington returned the office of the Prime Minister to Terrace Street. During Loynd's tenure at Wraxall, the Civil Service and Cabinet Office remained at the deliberately constructed Terrace Street complex, with the residence being taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Over the years, there has been three major renovations of the building. The first, in 3014, saw Prime Minister Martin Banks reorganize the interior of the entire residential section of the building. He sectioned off the downstairs of 35 Terrace Street to become offices for political staff, as well as extending the size of the apartment above 34 Terrace Street. In 3017, Prime Minister Frank Eddington was forced to vacate Terrace Street during the 3017 Juneville floodings, resulting in significant renovation of the bottom floors of the complex. The third and final rennovation came in 3020, following Wiltshirian independence. During the NCR occupation of Wiltshire, the building was looted by the NCR armed forces, along with the Enterprise Complex, and suffered significant damage. Upon Wiltshire's independence, the complex was originally occupied by President Gaius Selan who commissioned the interior be completely reconstructed. The cabinet room was moved from downstairs number 34 Terrace Street to upstairs number 35 Terrace Street and the apartment above 34 Terrace Street was once again extended. Selan, eventually opting to relocate to the Park Estate Mansion, left Terrace Street to the Prime Minister, who he appointed in 3020.

Since its first use by Wiltshire's Prime Ministers, Terrace Street has become the most iconic representation of democracy, government and power in all of Doggerland. It was voted the "most iconic" Wiltshirian building in 3021 and is famous for its loud press pool which usually sits outside of the building, heckling questions to approaching politicians. It is by far the most recognizable governmental building outside of its own country in all of Doggerland, likely a testament to the office of Prime Minister using the term "Terrace Street" as a pseudonym.

The houses themselves are split in two, with the primary residence at 34 Terrace Street being that used by the Prime Minister. The second, at 35 Terrace Street, is split between official offices downstairs and the cabinet office upstairs (including the cabinet room itself). The surrounding complex is filled with the offices of the Wiltshire Civil Service.
