Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Public buildings
  - Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London: designs for chimneypieces for the Governor's house, for the Board of Commissioners, 1776 (2)

Designs for chimneypieces for the dining room and parlour, 1776, unexecuted and executed with alterations (2)

The dining room in the Governor's house does contain an Adam- style chimneypiece, but not to this design.

Adam's chimneypiece for the parlour - or state room - in the Governor's house survives in situ. It was executed to a simplified version of this design, with only the pilaster stiles, and the ram mask ornaments.
