Record drawing for the soffit of the portico, executed with alterations, July 1763 (1)

Adam's design for the portico was altered in execution. John Harris notes that this addition was Adam's attempt to enliven Leadbetter's 'uninspired slab-like block', producing a temple front and an early expression of fully formed Neo-Classicism.

There is a plan and section by Adam for the portico in the RIBA drawings collection.
