Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Country houses
  - Eaton Hall, Cheshire, unexecuted designs for a menagerie and banqueting house, and for alterations and additions to the house for Baron Grosvenor (later 1st Earl Grosvenor), c1766-68 (19)

Variant preliminary design and finished drawings for adding wings, links and an entrance loggia to the house, c1768, unexecuted (3)

These variant schemes for the addition of pavilions to the central block differ from the previous scheme (Adam volumes 21/57, 21/209, 39/94-99) by the removal of the ground floor from underneath the principal floor of the pavilions. Each makes use of a different ornamental treatment on the links.
