'''Gwalior House''' is the former residence of the [[Maharaja of Gwalior]] in Delhi. Located at Rajpur Road in [[Civil Lines, Delhi]], Gwalior House was one of the six princely houses in Civil Lines including Jamnagar, Kolhapur, Nabha, Sirohi and Udaipur.<br />
<br />
[[Jiwajirao Scindia|Maharaja Jivajirao Scindia]] of Gwalior stayed at 37 Rajpur Road, along with his mother. The house was later involved in an inheritance feud within the princely family.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/scindia-feud-castle-in-the-heir/1/119732.html|title = Scindia feud: Castle in the heir}}</ref> It is of modest size and can therefore not be considered a palace.<br />
<br />
Old Delhi had only three: Dujana House, Loharu House and (old) Pataudi House. The princely palaces were influenced by French, Italian, Indo-Venetian Gothic, Saracenic, Rajput and Islamic styles of architecture.<br />
<br />
Since Gwalior was a 21-gun salute [[princely state]], a large plot was set aside next to the Kingsway, today Rajpath, for a palace to be constructed next to the [[Baroda House]] and [[Patiala House]] {{nowrap|(at {{Coord|28.6166|77.2326|type:landmark_region:IN|display=inline}}).}} However the princely family refused to be aligned in this city planning scheme by the British. The plot stood empty and was temporary used as the Prince's Park Mess.<ref>Malgonkar, Manohar, ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=sbNaTBhe5nUC&pg=PA124 The Last Maharani of Gwalior: An Autobiography]'', pp. 124–126</ref><br />
