It is not as imposing as the Kremlin or as grandly situated as the White House. But the sturdy brick house at No. 10 Downing Street has been the official home to British Prime Ministers since 1735. On the occasion of No. 10's 250th anniversary, the present occupant, Margaret Thatcher, 60, was hostess to her Queen, whom she welcomed with a deep curtsy, and to her five living predecessors: Lord Stockton, formerly Harold Macmillan, 91; Lord Home, ne Alec Douglas-Home, 82; Lord Wilson, once just Harold, 69; Edward Heath, 69; and James Callaghan, 73.
