Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Country houses
  - Thistleworth (now Gordon) House, Isleworth, Middlesex: executed designs for an extension; a greenhouse; and two variant unexecuted designs for a temple for Lieutenant General Humphrey Bland, 1758-63 (12)

Preliminary designs and finished drawings for designs for garden temples, c1758-63, unexecuted (4)

Neither design for a garden temple was executed, but the size and arrangment of the second scheme (Adam volume 9/177 and 32/66), is reminiscent of the garden alcove seat at Croome Court, built in 1766, albeit to a different plan (SM Adam volume 19/143).
