Alternative preliminary design, designs and finished drawing for the chimney wall and chimneypiece for the library, 1769-70, Adam volumes 39/11 and 22/54 as executed (4)

The library was located in a projecting wing near the middle gate, and was similar in form to a gallery. Adam volumes 39/11 and 22/54 show the chimneypiece as executed, but it was demolished by Sir Anthony Salvin in the 1850s.
