Wikimedia „Flamsteed House, the original Observatory building at Greenwich, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke and built in 1675-76. John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal, lived and worked there to his death in 1719 by which time it was already known as Flamsteed or Flamsteed's House, a name which has stuck to his day.“
