Preliminary designs and finished drawings for the walls of the book room, 1768, unexecuted (5)

The book room was to be located on the principal floor of a small, square, one-room pavilion connected to the south-east corner of the central block, and therefore adjacent to the library. This was the corresponding pavilion to that for the painted breakfasting parlour attached to the south-west corner of the central block. Neither was executed.

The design for this book room is similar to that for the library at Kenwood (1769), and there are drawings matching Adam volumes 14/122 and 14/123 in the Kedleston drawings collection.
